I can't recall beaming through the wormhole... Maybe at the end of "Jem Hadar". However, Nog and Jake were beamed off the station, if I recall correctly, in "In the Cards".

About DS9 having a transporter in OPS:

Different situation. The Enterprise would fly up to a planet/ship/take-away, and Riker and co would walk down the corridor, have a chat, and then beam off. This didn't happen in DS9, because almost all the beaming involving the ops transporter was beaming someone ON. Since they could create a forcefield around the pad, there was little need, in storytelling terms, to have a seperate transporter room.

There was more of a need on the Defiant though. And look, it had a sperate tansporter, er, chamber thingy.

The first is, as was mentioned, presumably from "The Jem'Hadar." Er...or was it from the second part of "The Search"? Anyway, it's just a guess, but Eris beamed somewhere, presumably out of sensor range. Whether it was back through the wormhole or not, it still represented a feat Starfleet transporters weren't up to.

In Relativity, we have a long range transporter on the bridge (albeit with temporal capabilities). So that would seem to set the pattern for the next few centuries.

There was a transporter on the bridge of the Jenolan. Though the entire bridge would not fit the module that it has.
