*If you have information that you intend to update regularly, consider using inclusions to stop edits from popping up on other users' watchlists. For example, if you are tracking the progress of a title in an infobox and find yourself amending it daily, consider putting the infobox onto a separate page, such as "User:Yourname/Infobox" and including it into the main page as <code><nowiki>{{User:Yourname/Infobox}}</nowiki></code>. Any edits made to this subpage will not show up to people watching your talk page, but are kept current if they view your user page. Note that any subpage inclusions still fall under the main content restrictions of this policy. | *If you have information that you intend to update regularly, consider using inclusions to stop edits from popping up on other users' watchlists.
