Lua is a programming language that is available, via the Scribunto MediaWiki extension. Lua code can now be embedded into wiki templates by employing the "{{#invoke:}}" functionality of Scribunto. The Lua source is stored in pages called modules (e.g., Module:Skill). These individual modules are then invoked (by code {{#invoke:}}) on template page. Modules are used when more advanced functions with high performance are required.
