It is in the works and I would love if you find the time to review it once it's up on Gerrit (which should happen this week). Lua scripting is indeed a big deal for us at Wikidata — structured data from Wikidata is available as JSON which can be thrown around and iterated over as Lua tables. This has the potential to unleash some niftyness in Wikidata-based Infobox templates. -- Jens Ohlig Software developer Wikidata project Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
