Hey y'all,

I'm struggling to get the wikipedia citation system going, i've installed all the extensions and dependencies (Scribuntu and TemplateStyles) and imported the "Category:Citation Style 1 templates" category directly from wikipedia (yes, I do need all its functionality).

Still, Lua is throwing this error every time a formatted citation is attempted to be printed out:

• Lua error in Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration at line 2083: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).

you can also see the traceback an the page directly.

(e.g., http://psychopragmatics.com/index.php/Template:Cite_journal)

Is anyone experienced with citations and lua and knows how to fix this?

Thanks and love!

I'm only guessing from a few minutes of curiosity but it looks like you took the module from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration. Line 2083 is for _, limit_t in ipairs (mw.ext.data.get ("CS1/Identifier limits.tab").data) do which I think is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:CS1/Identifier_limits.tab but doesn't exist on your wiki (yet).

Which probably means you don't have a data namespace setup to import Data:CS1/Identifier_limits.tab into. That wouldn't be strange, as data namespace is a pretty rare configuration for most installs.

I've imported the Configuration:

wikipedia.org/wiki/Module%3ACitation%2FCS1%2FConfiguration

(from wikipedia, not from commons.wikipedia).

I also created the namespace, but I have to idea what to do next.

Importing Identifier_limits.tab doesn't make much sense to me, (although I tried to do so: http://psychopragmatics.com/index.php/Data:CS1/Identifier_limits.tab) since it is not even on the main wikipedia, where I exported all the other dependencies from.

I've missed a JSON dependency (extensions as well as config). Still doesn't work after installing it, though.
