Template:Lua/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used to indicate that a template uses one or more Lua modules (pages in the Module: namespace). It is placed at the top of the template's /doc page. It automatically adds a floating right notification box, and it adds the template to Category:Lua-based templates or to one of its subcategories.

Usage

[edit]
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

[edit]
  • {{Lua|Module:Example}}
  • {{Lua|Module:Example|Module:Example}}
  • {{Lua|Module:$Example$}}

Categorisation

[edit]

Template category

[edit]

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:

Error category

[edit]

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

Category suppression

[edit]

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

TemplateData

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Lua in articles based on its TemplateData.
