Dessamator wrote: It is been more than a year since Lua was introduced, and it is unreasonable to not have a proper solution after all this time. Most definitely agreeable. I really don't see Lua modules used on wikis that often. Every so often I see them, but honestly I'm kind of against them because of how complex and unreasonably long they are. You have to go through and create a table then create functions within the table and then write in such a weird way that it just seems pointless and unworthy of the effort it requires. I could probably transform most modules into JS. The only benefit is that supposedly it doesn't quite take as long to load Lua modules. I don't know the validity of this claim, but I assume it's based off the presumption that JS runs on all pages whereas modules run on the pages you transclude them on.
