Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.
In Lua, "table" is a fundamental type that can be used either as an array (numerical index, fast) or as an associative array. The keys and values can be of any type, except nil. The following focuses on non-numerical indexes. A table literal is written as { value, key = value, [index] = value, ["non id string"] = value }. For example:
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.
This module includes a number of set operations for Lua tables. It currently has union, intersection and complement functions for both key/value pairs and for values only. . It is a meta-module, meant to be called from other Lua modules, and should not be called directly from #invo
Takes a table t and returns an array containing the numbers of keys with the optional prefix prefix and the optional suffix suffix. For example, for the table {a1 = 'foo', a3 = 'bar', a6 = 'baz'} and the prefix 'a', affixNums will return {1, 3, 6}. All characters in prefix and suffix are interpreted literally.
Each module subpage sends a Lua table to Module:Adjacent stations. The outermost table (often the table called p, or otherwise the table after return. Lua tables ({ ...}) contain keys and values, which can be in the format ["key"] = value. Values can be strings/characters ("value", tables, or other values. Key–value pairs are separated by commas.

Lua does not contain a separate ephemeron construct, but its table data structures may be set to holds its keys, values, or both in a weak fashion. If the keys are held weakly, but values are held strongly, the table will act like an ephemeron. Lua 5.4 also introduces metatable behavior that helps to construct ephemeron-like data structures. [4]
