Template:Imported module list
Template documentationThis is a transclusion template that provides the output of the LadyGeek developed python script below. The script uses the MediaWiki API to generate the list of Modules. History and background can be found on here.
Source
The python script was developed in Linux.
The arvlimit in the MediaWiki documentation states that the upper limit is 500 revisions, but the API sandbox says 5000. I kept the 5000 sandbox limit to avoid going over 500 in the near future. A warning will be printed every time API data is fetched; use it as a loop counter. A different number of entries will be returned each time (it's not evenly divided).

MediaWiki's API sandbox has a 500 return limit and breaks the output into separate pages.

Note
The syntax highlighting, line numbers and keywords does not currently work in finiki. The tags <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight> to produce line numbers and source language formatting require python3 on the server. It is not currently available due to server hosting limitation.
