Bug ID: 64460
Summary: Dynamically generate files with Scribunto
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto

Currently, we have modules that create pie charts by stacking divs with very
thick, differently-colored borders, as well as ones that do even crazier
things. Perhaps Scribunto should be given a {{#invokefile:foo|bar}} syntax (or
something), where the output returned by the module is treated as contents of
an image (or in theory, even other types of files, such as audio). Primarily, I
see this being used to make SVGs, as a replacement for the HTML hacks used to
create "images" today. We can already have dynamic file generation with
Extension:Math, so it should be feasible to do with Scribunto as well.
