Hi Tpt,

Thank you so much for writing the Authority Control Lua modules. I would actually like to learn to write it them myself.

What tutorials did you use, or how did you learn to write the Lua modules?

Also on a sidenote, there is a need for a bot to run on Wikipedias that puts Templates that use Wikidata fallback on pages where Wikidata data exists, but the Wikipedia isn't grabbing it. That's something I plan to get around to, unless anyone knows of any starts on it?

Hi!
In French Wikisource, we have some templates already rewritten in lua like:
https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Module:Header_template The header template use by Proofread Page
https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Module:Classement Create clean default DEFAULTSORT
https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Module:Table for TOCs
https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Module:MathRoman : outputs roman number.

For commons, the issue is that, as I know, Lua doesn't support internationalization very well (but I think it could be done with some hacks).

PS: I've also rewritten for French and English Wikipedia the Authority control template. It supports validation of some ids and fallback to Wikidata. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Authority_control/sandbox and https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Autorité . The "fallback to Wikidata" feature is live on the French Wikipedia but not on the English one. I can help to adapt it to other languages.

Hi all,
is there any Wikisource which had Lua deployed?
I'm looking for a book/header templates re-written in Lua to copy and localize :-)
(so far, I've seen only this one in the Italian Wikipedia http://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Modulo:Tracce&action=edit)
And I'd love to see Book and Creator templates on Commons Lua-style :-)

Aubrey
