Module talk:Val
Error in Basque Wikipedia
I have just copied this module and the /units module and I get this error:
Luanda errorea in Modulu:Val at line 267:attempt to call local 'lookup' (a nil value).
You can see live at: eu:Protoi
- Well, solved! It called to Module:...." and it should be Modulu:...." as in basque language Wikipedia. -Theklan (talk) 20:17, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Theklan: No, that's not it—there must have been some other issue, perhaps the fact that the page was displayed before all the modules existed and you saw a cached copy of the page that had the error. The system software (MediaWiki) understands a generic name for each namespace as well as the local name. That means "Module:" works on all WMF projects. Here are two examples to demonstrate:
- eu:Module:Convert and eu:Modulo:Convert are identical
- bn:Module:Convert and bn:মডিউল:Convert are identical
- Further confirmation is that if you search Module:Convert for "Module:" you will see that it requires eu:Module:Convert/data (and more)—convert is very complex and it is not as easy to see as in eu:Module:Val, but it is there. If you undo your edit to Module:Val you will see that it still works. Johnuniq (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
