Reminder: this is happening today. If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=02&min=00&sec=0&day=20&month=03&year=2013 (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=18&min=00&sec=0&day=22&month=03&year=2013 (for Europe, Africa & America); see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours for details.
If you can't make it, you can also get help at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Lua_scripting On Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 7:48 PM, Sumana Harihareswara <[email protected]> wrote: > > We saw that things went well with the first rollout to several > Wikipedias, so we're planning on giving this capability to ALL > Wikipedias starting on March 13th.
