This Lua module is used on approximately 421,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit.

The module itself must return a Lua table of values. A Lua table is expressed as a list of values separated by commas, within curly braces. When the module is called by #invoke, the function it names (the first argument after |) is looked for in that table. That function, in turn, is expected to return something that can be represented as a string.
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 ...
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.
-- The iterator returns key, repr where key is the actual key, and-- repr is its representation: a number for the ipairs keys, or-- a string, including for number keys above the table length. if type (var) ~= 'table' then return function return nil end end local nums = {} local results = Collection. new for i, _ in ipairs (var) do nums [i ...

Running your code through an IDE is helpful for its text highlighting features, which can help you quickly spot syntax errors. Any IDE with the ability to install a Lua text highlighting plugin should work. This could be as simple as Notepad++ (with Lua selected from the language menu) or as full-featured as Visual Studio Code.
