Lua on Wikimedia
- The event is now full, if you are interested in attending another session, please sign up below.
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.
