Module talk:Unsubst

I get this error:

 Lua error in Module:Unsubst at
 line 18: attempt to call field
 'isSubsting' (a nil value).

Shouldn't that be isSubstring? ☠MarkAHershberger☢(talk)☣ 16:27, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Note: The module name is "Unsubst", implying a reversal of "subst"; "subst" is a verb, being Wiki shorthand for substitute; so the present participle would be "substing", and may be used in a phrase like "it is substing", hence I think that "isSubsting" is a reasonable name for an identifier, such as a function returning a Boolean result. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:22, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Not done: As Redrose64 explained, isSubsting is the correct spelling. Where are you getting this error? Given that we haven't been inundated by people complaining that every maintenance tag (e.g. ) is giving script errors, I am skeptical that you're seeing this here on enwiki. On non-WMF wikis, do note that you will need an extremely recent version of Scribunto (or you will have to cherry-pick gerrit:93019). Anomie⚔ 18:09, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

mw.isSubsting not working

I have a local wikipedia copy and get the 'Lua error in Module:Unsubst atline 18: attempt to call field 'isSubsting' (a nill value)' error and I have changed the Unsubst module to the new one but still get the error, is there anything else I need to do?

Yes, you need to upgrade Scribunto to the latest version. Wikipedia uses the cutting-edge version of Scribunto, so you will need to go to the download page and select "master (latest development version)" from the drop-down menu. Earlier versions of Scribunto don't have the mw.isSubsting function. Although it is called the "latest development version", it should be stable enough to use in production. (If it's good enough for Wikipedia, it's probably good enough for you.) Hope this helps. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 12:19, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Also, if you don't want to upgrade, then you can use the old version of the module. That will work just fine, but you will need to specify the $N (template name) parameter in the #invoke text, whereas in the latest version this is not necessary. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 12:25, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Just installed the "master" version of Scribunto and it works :) Thanks very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.217.192.7 (talk) 14:01, 22 April 2014‎ (UTC)
