            Bug ID: 52592
           Summary: mw.clone causes script error when used on a table
                    returned from mw.loadData
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Scribunto

The function mw.clone is meant to create a deep copy of a value. mw.loadData
returns read-only tables, so a deep copy is necessary to modify a table
returned from mw.loadData. However, when an attempt is made to clone such a
table, a script error occurs:

table from mw.loadData is read-only

This is obviously not the intended behaviour and it prevents one of the main
uses of mw.clone.
