Lua is a programming language that is now available, via the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto Scribunto MediaWiki extension], on the English Wikipedia (and on this wiki). Lua code can now be embedded into wiki templates by employing the "<nowiki>{{#invoke:}}</nowiki>" functionality of the Scribunto MediaWiki extension.
 
See the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#mw.loadData Lua Reference Manual] for methods like <code>mw.loadData</code>.
Lua was installed on the English Wikipedia in February 2013, after testing on mediawiki.org and Wikimedia test wikis. In April 2014 it was installed here.
