Unfortunately there isn't a good way to have one page of content and have
sections of that content replicated elsewhere. The wiki doesn't have that
functionality. The Meetings pages are a little different because we're
actually going in the reverse (creating a larger page out of content from
multiple smaller pages).

Labels won't help much either since you can't label small portions of a
single page so it can pulled out.

So, for something like progress indicators you will have to maintain a
progress indicator page for each component. I don't think there's a way
around it in our version of the wiki.
