Lua on Wikimedia

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.
