Template:Lua

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

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}}

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.
• Module:Math has the default category Category:Templates based on the Math Lua module.
• Module:BaseConvert has the default category Category:Templates based on the BaseConvert Lua module.
• Module:Citation and Module:Citation/CS1 both have the default category Category:Lua-based citation templates.

Error category

If no modules are specified, the transcluded page will be added to Category:Lua templates with errors.

Category suppression

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