my_object = {};    --All lua modules on wiki must define a global variable --that will hold their externally accessible functions. --Such global variables can have whatever name you want --and may also return various data as well as functions.

my_object.hello = function( frame )    --Add a function to "my_object". --Such functions are callable via #invoke. --"frame" contains data that Wikipedia --will send this function when it runs. return "Hello World!" --Do nothing but return "Hello World!" end -- end of function "hello"

return my_object  --All modules end by returning the global variable to Wikipedia.

-- Now we can use this module by calling. -- Note that the first part of the invoke is the name of the Module's wikipage, -- and the second part is the name of one of the functions attached to the -- global variable that you returned.

-- The "print" function is not allowed in Wikipedia. All output is accomplished -- via strings "returned" to Wikipedia.
