User talk:Zesty/Portability of WP Templates

Hey there. Been working on some templates and am running into a brick wall.

Most of the Wikipedia core templates were re-written to LUA ~2 years ago. This wiki doesn't run Extension:Scribunto, which means no #invoke:, so templates such as {{mbox}} and the rest of its family ({{ambox}}, {{tmbox}}, {{fmbox}}, etc) are broken. WP editors seems to have been extremely fervent in their pursuit to replace every legacy style mbox-type template, and I can find almost none that a decently visually appealing to borrow code from. I was considering going back and refactoring an early 2014 version of Mbox to work here (pre-LUA switch), but boy is it looking like a ton more work than expected and I'll probably find a heap more template transclusions to fix before it's even partially functional.

tl;dr: Are there any plans to activate Scribunto on this wiki enable modern WP templates to be ported here?

Edit: fixed links
