Note: This is likely not quicker than wikicode-only alternatives such as {} and {}, because it transcludes the data template from Lua and converts it to a Lua table using the above function, picks the wanted parameter name, and returns it to wikicode, whereas other templates perform two simple non-Lua transclusions to get, in most cases, the ...
A table is a sequence, optionally supplemented by named keys: digit["two"]="2". Several table functions like table.concat will only work with the numbered values and ignore named keys. The metatable offers a large, optional set of methods for altering table behavior. For example, you can define a table to be callable like a function.
Almost everything is a table. If it isn't a table, it's a string, a number, a boolean, a function, or a nil. Libraries are tables. string.gmatch is the "gmatch" entry in the table named by the global variable string. Arguments that you receive from MediaWiki are tables. But they're a bit special. Arrays are tables that follow a specific convention.

A name in Lua is either an access of a local variable or a table lookup. [3] math.floor is a table lookup (of the string "floor") in the (global) math table, for example. Table lookups are slower, at runtime, than local variable lookups. Table lookups in tables such as the args table with its "specialness" are a lot slower.

To override entries at Convert, make an entry here. If you're not in a hurry, you may notice when editing Val/units that it consists of two Lua string assignments, and Lua comments. Be careful. Questions or requests related to Val units are welcomed at Template talk:Val. For feedback specifically about the terminology or procedural steps seen ...
