Bug ID: 47089
Summary: Add a method of determining which Module was invoked
from within Lua
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized

I'd like to request that a method be added to determine from within Lua what
Module name was present in the invoke instruction, i.e.
{{ #invoke: MyModule | test }}
I'd like the called function to be able to determine that MyModule is the
origin of the call.
My use case for this is being able to differentiate behavior for:
{{ #invoke: MyModule | test }} and
{{ #invoke: MyModule/sandbox | test }}
Where the sandbox is likely to contain near identical code to the main Module
but you might want it to do something different (e.g. add extra diagnostic
output, include the /sandbox version other modules rather than the main
version, etc.)
The most natural way that I can see to do this is to have the Lua function look
for "/sandbox" in the name of the invoked Module, but there doesn't seem to be
any way at present for Lua to know what Module was being invoked.
