Mediawiki request:Lua Script
Hi Sam888, When you have a moment can you consider installing Lua script so we can use the current generation of templates from mediawiki/wikipedia some of the benefits are improved performance and simpler to program the templates.

:: Ok I'd like this installed also please. Attempted to bring a template across from wikipedia and found out LUA was not installed here. --[[User:Gioto|Gioto]] ([[User talk:Gioto|talk]]) 22:45, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 
Wouldn't a full implementation of Lua script interpreter require a huge commitment to adding Security, monitoring for malware and server overloads? Since it is user programming, it would probably also need a testbed site to minimize the risk of crashing the public site. There DOES seem to be a safer intermediate option where Lua Script can be used like a compiler to generate debugged static templates.
 
It seems like a more widely leveraged investment would be to add a more modern WYSIWYG page content editor. (Since the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editor#Former javascript-based MediaWiki editor] we're currently using was deprecated in 2010!)
