Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to show that templates have been converted to Lua. It is placed at the top of the template's /doc page. It automatically adds the template to Category:Lua-based templates, or to one of its subcategories.

Usage

Basic

{{Lua|module name}}

All parameters

{{Lua|module 1|module 2|module 3|...|category=custom category|nocat=true}}

The first module name is required.

Examples

• {{Lua|Module:Bananas}}

• {{Lua|Module:Bananas|Module:BananasArgs}}

• {{Lua|Module:Bananas|Module:BananasArgs|Module:HelloWorld}}

• {{Lua|wish=true}}

• {{Lua}}

Categorisation

Template category

This template adds pages to Category:Lua-based templates if the page is in the template namespace, and it is not on any of the subpages /doc, /sandbox, /sandbox2 or /testcases. You can specify a different category with the |category= parameter, e.g. |category=Lua String-based templates.

Some modules have a default category other than Category:Lua-based templates:

• Module:String has the default category Category:Lua String-based templates.

Error category

If no modules are specified and wishes are not enabled by default, the transcluded page will be added to Category:Lua templates with errors.

Wish category

If no modules are specified and |wish=true is used, the page will be added to Category:Lua-candidates

Category suppression

To suppress all categorisation, use |nocat=true. (As well as "true", the values "yes", "y", and "1" will also work.)
