Hi!
I've learn by reading the first examples written by the extension developers and, for
language syntax, with Google.
Some people in the English Wikipedia have written a tutorial:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_Scribbling that is maybe now the best
entry point. But, as for everything in the computing world, the best way to learn is to
read code and try ;-). Create a module in
test2.wikipedia.org and do your tests here.
The most important page is
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual that document the
library provided by Scribunto. I have it open each time I edit modules.
I didn't know any project to add missing {{Authority Control}} to article of the
English Wikipedia. So, I think you can work on it. Thanks!
Thomas
PS: Is ISNI only for people? If yes, It would be nice to use a bot to add
"person" as GND type to all items with an ISNI id because there are a lot of
items in this case according to
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violatio…
I can do it if needed.

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 :-)
