Lua on Wikimedia
|
From 13 March 2013, Lua was enabled as a templating language on a number of Wikimedia Foundation wikis, including the English Wikipedia. The aim of the day was for interested Wikimedians to find out what Lua is, how it works in terms of wiki templates, and to try their hands on coding some templates in Lua.

- The lack of trains on Sunday mornings means I'll be driving from the West Midlands to Stanmore Tube Station, just off M1 J4 (7 am to 9 am) if anybody en route would like a lift. --RexxS (talk) 20:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
