Description:
To make it easier to control what gets transcluded, it could be interesting to have an additional tag "<transcludeonly>".
Sample (1)
One could create a template:
asdf asdf <transcludeonly>123</transcludeonly> asdf asdf
When transcluded, this would display:
123
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Not really, a template
asdf asdf <includeonly>123</includeonly> asdf asdf
renders as:
asdf asdf 123 asdf asdf
"<onlyinclude>123</onlyinclude> asdf asdf" gives "123" when transcluded. This seems to be exactly what you want.

Thanks Maarten, I thought this somehow existed, but couldn't find it.
Good to read that p858snake plans to document it. I would appreciate if he would write this differently though. I find his posts in this bug highly confusing.
On the other hand, it would be useful to have some tags to allow stuff to be included only when the template is transcluded, or only when substituted (and the inverse, of course), but that would be a different bug.
