	'''Lua''' is a programming language that is integrated into the ~~Star Citizen~~ Wiki with [[mw:Extension:Scribunto\|Scribunto]]. Lua source code is run from Modules in their own namespace, and invoked with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Module\|function}}</nowiki></code>; this should be done with a wrapper template. For example, if we have a module named "foo", then we should have a template called "Template:Foo" consisting of <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Foo\|main}}</nowiki></code> to call the module, and use <code><nowiki>{{Foo}}</nowiki></code> to use the module on pages.
