Lua is a programming language made available at Terraria Wiki via the Scribunto MediaWiki extension. It is a powerful scripting language that can extend the functionality of wiki templates beyond the capabilities usually ascribed to wiki code alone. It is embedded into wiki templates by employing the "{{#invoke:}}" syntax.
Lua source code is stored on pages called modules (eg. Module:Bananas, a test script). The documentation for a module is stored at each module's /doc
Examples
- Use
{{#invoke:Bananas|hello}}to print the text "Hello, world!". - See Module:BananasArgs for extended basic code examples.
