Help talk:Showing the contents of one page within another page

Aren't there strict namespace restrictions on the quoting method described herein? Quoting a WikiSaurus entry does not seem to work (at least not in preview.) --Connel MacKenzie 15:00, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It doesn't work for ordinary pages - Apple -
 * You need to put a colon before the page name.

But it works for pages in a named namespace - Help:Contents - SemperBlotto 16:55, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Is that true for all 15? (There are 16 namespaces, right?)  --Connel MacKenzie 00:15, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This doesn't seem to work for Special pages. I couldn't get Special:Categories to work. It just showed a link. But when I tried a regular page, it worked fine. Any hints?
