:Transcluding should be kept to a minimum, when there is a lot of information that needs to be contained on a lot of pages, and you only want to have to edit it once.  You are correct that the information you were adding needs to be contained on a lot of pages, and you are correct that trying to update every page with new information would be kind of a pain.  However, there are better ways of handling the problem than by transcluding very small pieces of information.  Take a look at how I handled [[Street Fighter II/Characters/Ryu|SF2 Ryu]].  At the very top of the page, there's a link that takes the reader to the [[Capcom/Move lists|Capcom move lists page]] where all of Ryu's appearances are listed together.  If you could set something like that up on the [[SNK Playmore/Move lists|SNK Playmore move lists page]] for Terry, then you'd only have to direct the user to one place, and update the move lists page whenever you add a new appearance.  I hope you understand.  Again, I agree with your idea, just not its implementation.  I discussed it with Prod for a very long time to determine the best possible solution.  Feel free to share your thoughts with me.  [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 12:49, 6 December 2007 (CST)

::I'm sorry, you are absolutely correct.  I ''meant'' to direct you to [[Street Fighter II/Characters/Akuma|SF2 Akuma]].  I have not had a chance to fix Ryu yet, but I plan to very shortly. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 13:57, 6 December 2007 (CST)
