Hi.
In the context of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10621,
the concept of using wiki pages as databases has come up. We're already
beginning to see this:
* https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Module:languages (over 30,000 lines)
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Convertdata

I'm guilty of that, and what's been worrying me is that there are
hundreds more units to add. Some guidance on using Lua as a database
would be very desirable.
Quick tests suggest that if {{convert}}

So unfortunately I don't have a clear idea of what the problem is,
primarily because I don't know anything about the Parser and its inner
workings, but as far as having all the data in one page, here's something.
Maybe this is a bad idea, but how about having a PHP-array content type. In

In the long term, Wikidata is probably the way to go on something like this.
In the short term, as far as dividing things up, note that you can
implement on-demand loading in Lua easily enough using the __index
metamethod.
local obj = {}
setmetatable( obj, {
__index = function ( t, k

Hey,
Do try to use local context when available though. wfMessage uses global
state. If you have a context object available, you can use its msg method.
Would be nice if there was a clean and properly segregated interface for
message handling objects, though there is none AFAIK.
Cheers

Thanks, that helps!
Maybe it would be good to add the replacement function to the comments
in the code? The documentation for doxygen [1] says that @deprecated
can be use for describing alternatives. I think it's important for
extension developers to quickly see what's not deprecated way to do

You can already use subpages to store data. Access is then O(1) The
problem is that then you have one page per entry.
I know. What I'm suggesting is an interface where the sub-pages aggregate
