From 13 March, Lua was enabled as a templating language on a number of Wikimedia Foundation wikis, including the English Wikipedia. The aim of the day is 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.

Basic information

  • Date: Sunday 19 May 2013, 10am–5pm
  • Venue: Development House, 56-64 Leonard Street, London EC2A 4LT
  • Participants: All welcome!
  • Registration: Please sign up below!
  • Contacts: Any questions? Please contact Katie Chan on katie.chanatwikimedia.org.uk, 020 7065 0990
