Protecting a section of a page?

Is it possible to protect a single section of a page?

If not, is it possible to somehow display a page within another page?

For instance, I would like my front page to be protected. But I would like to
have an editable section on that page? Could I display the contents of an
editable page in a section of my front page.

Thanks,
Bruce

No.

You can use templates. In 1.2.x these are mixed into the MediaWiki:
namespace for localization, in 1.3.x it'll be a separate Template:
namespace. See http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_namespace for
starters.

(This is how it's done on en.wikipedia.org)
