=== Replacing Template:Main ===

[[File:How to excerpt.webm|thumb|How to replace a section for an excerpt.]]

Sections are often summaries of more precise subpages (generally linked with [[Template:Main]]). Sometimes it's convenient to replace the content of such sections for excerpts of the subpages (after merging any valuable content of the section into the subpage). In such cases, an efficient way to proceed is:

# Open the section in one tab and the subpage in another.
# Edit both.
# Copy the text of the section and paste it below the lead section of the subpage.
# Delete repeated content and adjust using common sense.
# Save the changes in the subpage with an edit summary like: Bring content from <nowiki>[[Page]]</nowiki>.
# Back to the section, delete all content and replace it for an excerpt of the subpage.
# Save the changes in the section with an edit summary like: Move content to <nowiki>[[Subpage]]</nowiki> and leave an excerpt.
