Wis. Stat. § 600.02: Interpretive rules.

In chs. 600 to 655, unless the context indicates otherwise:

(1) “Includes” means “including but not limited to”.

(2) Statements that a term “includes” or “excludes” something else are not definitions.

(3) References in s. 600.03 to particular sections only indicate where a term is especially relevant, and do not limit its application to such sections.
