Yep, that confirms it. If the invoked module just appears as plain text as if within nowiki tags, it means that the Scribunto extension is either not installed or not configured properly. That extension is required for most modules to work. https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto — Amanda

I had never even heard of "modules" before now. -Rich -----Original Message----- From: MediaWiki-l [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Amanda Quad Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2018 10:30 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] How to calculate the length of a string I’m not very experienced with modules. However, what I’ve found is that when you invoke a module like you described, and then it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do, it sometimes means that the module is dependent on another sub module that is missing. Does the page where the module has been invoked display something like “LUA ERROR: Module XYZ NOT FOUND” where the output of the invoked module is supposed to be? If yes, you need to add whatever XYZ is in order for the first module to work. If not, I unfortunately cannot guide you further. I always import all my modules from Wikimedia using the Scribunto extension, so this is not one of my areas of high expertise. — Amanda On Thursday, January 4, 2018, 10:26 AM, Evans, Richard K.
