StrategyWiki:Lua

Lua is a programming language that can be embedded into wiki templates by employing the "{{#invoke:}}" functionality of Scribunto.

The Lua source code is stored in pages called modules (e.g., Module:Sandbox). These individual modules are then invoked (by code {{#invoke:}}) on template pages.

Labeling converted templates

Please place the {{lua}} template on the documentation subpage of all templates that use Lua. It will help to better communicate Lua usage and template conversions.
