Is Would it be Possible to Add Labeled Section Transclusion Support?

From Gentoo Wiki

I realize I'm new to this wiki and so this is sort of a bold request, but I'm going to ask anyway. I'd really like to see Labeled Section Transclusion support added to Gentoo's wiki. It's a fairly standard wiki extension that enables a lot of very useful features for a project like this one. In a nutshell:

  • Complex documents (like handbooks) could be woven together from smaller labeled sections of unchanged core content plus the deltas for a given architecture or configuration.
  • Sections of package documentation could be reused seamlessly by guides and other articles wherever relevant.
  • Documentation for closely related forks would be easier to deal with.
  • I think I've seen it used as an aid to translation as well, but I'm not 100% sure.
