Since the end need for this test is rather simple, much more so than the features of Embed Anything (if it worked), stumbled across another solution: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion

Below is the content of a different page on this Wiki, titled: WRT1900AC, WRT1900ACS, and WRT3200ACM Routers, SoS ( CPU ), and Hardware (WRT1900AC,_WRT1900ACS,_and_WRT3200ACM_Routers,_SoS_(_CPU_),_and_Hardware)

It was added with this directive: <nowiki>{{:WRT1900AC,_WRT1900ACS,_and_WRT3200ACM_Routers,_SoS_(_CPU_),_and_Hardware}}</nowiki>

The Subtitle was added in this page as only the content of the other page is embedded in this page.

A question of how MediaWiki would handle the construction of the Contents section resulted in a satisfying conclusion. Any headings, sub-headings, etc of a Transcluded article are also included in the main pages Content Section. A recommendation would be to put the main section heading in the main article as a marker point for reference.

And what about editing? The source as it turns out cannot be edit from within the article in which it is embedded. That makes sense. Oddly, when clicking on the "embedded" section, it can be "edited", in a similar fashion to something else that has been inserted into an article (like a Code Block, etc.). However, the target article is not affected when editing. Anything added during the editing process results in it being appended to the main article, just after the "transcluded" article. Again, the source transcluded article is not modified.

Also remember that for changes to be seen via a web browser (from a user's / reader's perspective), the page needs to be refreshed. In FireFox, holding down the Shift Key and then clicking on the Refresh Button does the trick (most of the time on the first try, sometimes it takes two attempts). And there also seems to be minor delays on the backend, presumably database related, where if one updates an article to be embedded and then checks the main page, the updates may not be present immediately. In instances such as this, wait a few seconds, then refresh the page again.
