Module:No globals
| This module is currently protected from editing as it is a high-use module. Edits made to it will affect many pages. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or in your sandbox. |
Overview
This module causes an error if any nil global is read or if any global is written to, except arg. To use, add require('Module:No globals') to the top of the module using it. The arg variable is excluded because it is necessary for Scribunto's require function to work properly.
