Module:Log globals
MyWikiBiz, Author Your Legacy — Monday December 23, 2024
Jump to navigationJump to searchThis module finds nil globals and adds the to the lua log along with where they were read/written. This module is different from Module:No globals as you can see all nil global variables that are being read/written to rather then only getting an error for the first problematic global variable. The arg variable is excluded.
