 | This page in a nutshell: Lua is a programming language that is now available, via the Scribunto MediaWiki extension. |
Lua is a programming language that is now available, via the Scribunto MediaWiki extension. Lua code can now be embedded into wiki templates by employing the "{{#invoke:}}" functionality of Scribunto.
The Lua source code is stored in pages called modules. These individual modules are then invoked (by code {{#invoke:}}) on template pages.
Most, if not all, usage of Lua code involves modules imported from Wikipedia.
