IRC chats this week for Q&A about Lua scripting on wikis

by Sumana Harihareswara

Hi, all! As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/11/lua-templates-faster-more-flexible-pa…> or the tech ambassadors list <http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2013-March/000171…>, we enabled Lua on all Wikimedia sites last week. Lua <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lua> is a scripting language that enables wiki editors to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates. We're pretty excited about this, partly because of the promise of Lua + Wikidata <https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/14/what-lua-scripting-means-wikimedia-op…>. To enable Lua templating on your own wiki, install the Scribunto extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto>. If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC this week: one on Wednesday <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=02&min=00&sec=0&d…>(for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday <http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=18&min=00&sec=0&d…> (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours> for details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Lua_scripting>. If you'd like to learn about this kind of event earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/Ambassadors> by subscribing to the mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors>. Thanks, Sumana -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation P.S. Thanks to Guillaume Paumier for writing the wikimediaannounce-l post I modded to write this! http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaannounce-l/2013-March/000614.…
