Lua is a programming language that is available on Nookipedia via the Scribunto MediaWiki extension. Lua code is hosted in Module pages and can be invoked by using the {{#invoke:}} function, with the ability to pass in parameters similar to templates. Lua is powerful, with the ability to render templates and HTML output, and perform many things that wikitext cannot.

On Nookipedia, we generally try to reserve Lua for cases in which a wikitext solution is impossible or very complex. Since most editors are familiar with wikitext and not Lua, wikitext is the preferred solution for simple templates.
