Line 26: == Lua sandbox == The English wikipedia has the [[mw:Extension:TemplateSandbox\|Template Sandbox]] extension installed. There is a Synergy ~~bewteen~~between the "template sandbox" and "Scribuntu" extensions, which allows to develop and modify Lua modules in private (i.e., in the user space) pages, before moving them to the global space. === How to use "Template Sandbox" to develop scribuntu module? === Let's take a practical example. for this example, assume your user name is "Lua Developer". Let's say you want to test a bug-fix or enhancement to the [[Module:String\|String]] module. There are two reasons you can't do it directly: this module contains functions that are used by hundreds of templates, transcluded in milions of articles. Any bug will present a huge disruption to Wikipedia. The 2nd reason is more prosaic: because this module is so central, it is also protected, and our "Lua Developer" user does not have the required permissions to modify this module.
