gollark: You can add them to home screens and such these days.
gollark: I don't see why you wouldn't want it as a web application.
gollark: So I could have a page `Bee` on bees saying```Bee bee bee apioform, but bees and apioforms are only strongly correlated - they are not, as widely believed, identical.```and a page `Bee density` saying```Bee density is the density of bees. [[some include syntax goes here:Bee]]```and it'd include the `Bee` page.
gollark: It means including the contents of a page in another page.
gollark: I am probably not actually adding a scripting language, but I *am* ideally doing transclusion at some point, structured data, and an export button.
