If I read this right, what you want is a copy of the wiki-code from the 
included page, which you can paste into a new page and edit without 
changing the original.

Easiest way to do this is:

1. Open the new page for editing.

2. In a new window / tab open the original page and add ?action=source 
to the URL. This brings up the wiki-code for that page.

3. Copy and paste this wiki-code into the new page and edit as usual.

Hope this helps!
