Bug ID: 45562
Summary: Allow modules to return a single function rather than
a table
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto

An #invoke call currently requires two arguments: the module name and the
function to call from the table it returns. However, in some cases, modules
return only one function (they have a single common "entry point") and the
table is technically redundant. An example is Module:nl-verb on en.wiktionary,
which exports only the function "export.conjugate" and thus all invocations
will be {{#invoke:nl-verb|conjugate|...}}.
It would be nice if, in this case, the module could just return a single
function, and the invoke call could forego including the function name.
However, this would mean that, if called with {{#invoke:foo|bar|baz}}, then
within the function that Module:foo returns, frame.args[1] is now "bar" and
frame.args[2] is "baz". This differs from the usual behaviour which would be to
call the function "bar" and then frame.args[1] would be "baz". I don't know if
that is a problem.
