First load the module:

 

local mTemplateInvocation = require('Module:Template invocation')

 

Then you can use the individual functions as documented below.

=== Name ===

 

mTemplateInvocation.name(title)

 

This function produces the name to be used in a template invocation. For pages in the template namespace it returns the page name with no namespace prefix, for pages in the main namespace it returns the full page name prefixed with ":", and for other pages it returns the full page name. <var>title</var> can be a string or a [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#Title objects|mw.title object]]. {{red|If <var>title</var> is a string, a mw.title object is created for it, which is [[WP:EXPENSIVE|expensive]].}}

=== Invocation ===

 

mTemplateInvocation.invocation(name, args, format)

 

 

Parameters:

* '''args''' - the arguments to use in the invocation (table, required). Table keys and values must be either strings or numbers.

* '''format''' - the format of the invocation (string, optional). The default is a normal invocation with unescaped curly braces, pipes, and equals signs. If this parameter is the string "nowiki", then the curly braces, pipes and equals signs are replaced with the appropriate [[HTML entities]].
