Lua scripting implementation and templates conversion/rewrite
Hello, I am coordinating the deployment of MediaWiki's Scribunto extension on various Wikimedia wikis to enable the Lua scripting language for templates. I was told by the Wikimedia Foundation that your community showed interest in early Lua adoption. If there are some of you interested in learning Lua and converting your local templates to it, please drop me a note on my talk page (because I am not watching this page) so that we can arrange the deployment of Scribunto for you. You can also check some demo templates at test2.wikipedia.org. In case this message was placed on the wrong talk page, please be so kind and move it to a more appropriate page. Thank you very much for your feedback! Kozuch (talk) 19:09, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Appendix
This is a migration process that will be taking place, and probably an opportunity for more handholding and kid gloves than will occur at a later time. In short it is meant to be offering more scaling of the limited mw:Help:Magic words and mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions

Scribunto extension roll out planned for February 18
Wikimedia Foundation has been working on improving performance and adding features to template pages within MediaWiki. As a result of this WMF developed a new Scribunto extension for MediaWiki which enables Lua scripting language for templates. The developers are confident about the extension's maturity and it was decided that Scribunto is going to be deployed to this wiki in the first batch. The deployment will begin on February 18 and will simply add a feature. If you are interested in converting current templates to Lua, please see more information and submit your feedback to Lua page on Meta. Regards,
