| This module is rated as alpha. It is ready for third-party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched. Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome. |
This module causes an error if any nil global is read or if any global is written to, with the exception of arg, and temporarily, name. 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. (See the Scribunto source code here.)
