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_violations/P213 I can do it if needed.

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?

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). Thomas 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.

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 :-) Aubrey _______________________________________________ Wikisource-l mailing list Wikisource-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikisource-l _______________________________________________ Wikisource-l mailing list Wikisource-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikisource-l
