Summary in

The explanation of the SI tag is this: {{Summary in}} Used when a summary of the marked article is used in another article, but each affected article remains totally distinct, and each may be read independently, and wiil be self-contained with regards to notability, verifiability, sourcing, and real-world requirements.

That summary was taken from the talk page from that template:

Well, I think it is indeed obvious that the intelligence of dogs is summarized in the article about dogs. I've had a look at the other articles that use this template, and I've found a few equally obvious cases (Lawyer is summarized in Law), but also not so obvious cases (Korean Air Flight 007 is summarized in Able Archer 83). I agree the the template is quite useful for cases like the latter one, but I'm not sure it should be used in every possible case. --Conti|✉ 20:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

In other words: {{Summary in}}: Simply refers to when the article is presented in a summary form in another article. The two articles are not substantially related otherwise (as in KAF007 and Able Archer 83). {{Summary in}} may appear multiple times in one article.

{{SubArticle}}: the two articles are directly linked and inseparable. The sub-article is essentially part of the main article. A sub-article cannot have more than one {{SubArticle}} tag as they have one parent article of which it is part. The tag means the articles share sources and media, so that an AfD for a subarticle take into accout the sources provided by the main atricle, thus the notability for the main topic is partially inhereted by the subarticle.—Torc. ^(Talk.) 11:12, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
