Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
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
- 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
{{Lua|Module:Example}}
| This template uses Lua: |
{{Lua|Module:Example|Module:Example}}
| This template uses Lua: |
{{Lua}}
| Error: no modules specified |
Categorisation
Template category
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:
- Module:String has the default category Category:Templates based on the String Lua module.
- Module:Math has the default category Category:Templates based on the Math Lua module.
- Module:BaseConvert has the default category Category:Templates based on the BaseConvert Lua module.
- Module:Citation and Module:Citation/CS1 both have the default category Category:Templates based on the Citation/CS1 Lua module.
Error category
If no modules are specified, the transcluded page will be added to Category:Lua templates with errors.
Category suppression
To suppress all categorisation, use |nocat=true. (As well as "true", the values "yes", "y", and "1" will also work.)
