--under construction --

If there is a ref name ID of, say, X in an article, and that article transcludes a template which also has a ref with a name ID of X, that produces a collision problem. It's also a problem with transcluded refns, sfns, efns, with group IDs used by thise and by transcluded refs, etc., including reflists, notelists, etc. It's a problem with transclusions other than templates -- see Help:Section/Transcluded sections, and see this edit for a workaround used to fix one instance of this problem. It happens often enough that I see it from time to time (and generate problems with it from time to time).

This describes a method by which this problem might be address by introducing a convention within WP for name and group IDs which are intended for transclusion. This grew out of an idea I described at WP:VPI. This is the ID of this WP page:
