[20:43:03] <drewmutt>	 Hey guys, I'm having a hard time getting a LUA template to grab content from commons (that is, directly), is that a known issue?
[20:47:01] <drewmutt>	 (fwiw, it seems to not be able to connect to anywhere other than where the template resides)
[21:01:21] <thedj_>	 drewmutt: yeah, i don't think that lua has an idea about foreign content
[21:03:06] <drewmutt>	 thedj: Which is odd because it asks for the "interwiki" prefix. i.e. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#mw.title.makeTitle
[21:03:31] <thedj>	 drewmutt: the 'foreign'-file content is bascially just 'visually' added to a local file description page.
[21:03:36] <thedj>	 drewmutt: a link is not content.
[21:04:26] <thedj>	 a link is just a link :)
[21:04:37] <thedj>	 a title just a title
[21:05:08] <thedj>	 it says nothing about your ability to do anything with that object
[21:05:56] <drewmutt>	 I see, I see. I may be going about this all wrong. Essentially, I want to grab a random featured image in a category from commons.
[21:06:46] <thedj>	 I don't think you can do that unless you use the javascript api...
[21:07:17] <drewmutt>	 Ah. Alternatively, I imagine I could do a PHP on labs.
[21:07:24] <thedj>	 yup
[21:07:59] <drewmutt>	 (phew) Well, glad I don't have to learn too much more LUA ^_^
[21:08:17] <thedj>	 i guess there is an up side to everything :)
[21:09:40] <drewmutt>	 So, and pardon my ignorance, but a template can contain javascript?
[21:10:44] <drewmutt>	 Ah n/m, this seems to answer my question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_templating
