Read the pages dealing with Lua. The extension installs a new namespace called
Module, it’s like the the template namespace. When using invoke you’re calling
a module, like you would with a template. So you need to copy over modules from
Mediawiki, Wikipedia, etc., or create your own, modules.
You have to install extension: Scribunto. It allows you to use lua. Check the
document links from the extension page, or google lua Mediawiki and you should
everything you need.

It has effectively wiped out spam on my site (a very, very large site). I was

The best way to show info about users on their user pages is Semantic Signup.
That way you can design the form they fill out. Of course to use Semantic
