I never got around to writing it, although if someone does want to I'd be happy to give some pointers.

At the moment there's a few Scribunto related tickets in the Voldev queue I'm hoping to get a chance to implement in the near future. After they're done I'm hoping Grunny will pass the ticket for adding /doc support to us too, thus removing the need for the script in the first place :) Naturally, I'd rather the server side support be added (largely so categories work) hence I've never got around to writing something client side that would be quickly superseeded (in an ideal world anyway).

Well, I think waiting for a server-side solution is better at this point.

Moving back to the templates wiki modulisation, there is an open pull request on wikia's github repo to add support for interwiki transclusion of modules, currently with dev wiki as the source. It's a little like being able to transclude templates from community central wiki. The syntax is  and doesn't seem all that flexible to allow adding dependencies from other wikis. Having said that, the more wikis that could act as a module repository creates more things to go wrong and the greater chance of subtle bugs as modules interact with each other.

That's a good point. Maybe it is better that the modules remain here and are just imported to Templates.wikia.com. Perhaps there just needs to be a proper categorization (or identification) of the templates.

If this wikia is already chosen as the host of these modules then perhaps an additional forum should be created for either requesting/conversion/debugging of modules. The current forum is not adequate, and if lua templating ever becomes popular in wikia, it'll soon become swamped.
