I've been working on a client's website that uses a lot of citations and runs 1.19. After a bit of profiling over the last few days, the use of some of Wikipedia's templates stood out. I decided to try and backport Scribunto to 1.19 to see if that would help.

After writing a couple of shims -- mostly for ContentHandler that 1.19 doesn't have -- I have the Infobox template successfully working. I'll have time to try others later, but I'm pleased with this small success.

Would anyone mind horribly if I branched Scribunto for 1.19 and committed my changes there? I'm well aware that future work on Scribunto will continue without any consideration for 1.19's capabilities.

Hey Mark,

please do branch & publish it! We'd love to take a look at how this flies on 1.19.

I'd appreciate if you could let me know when the code is available.

Thanks in advance!
