Script Error
Does anybody have an idea why title.getContent is causing script error such as in User:Sebschlicht/LearningUnit? The Lua documentation says there is a getContent-function for title objects. Why cant I use them? This also applies to exists, fileExists, canTalk, isTalkPage, fullUrl. Only a few are working, such as fullText and contentModel. --Sebschlicht (discuss • contribs) 13:18, 24 May 2014 (UTC)


 * First, I think it's a property vs. method issue. GetContent requires a : (colon) rather than a . (period).  Second, I think page may be a reserved word.  Funny things happen when you overwrite one of the page-level variables.  Go with title when you want a title object.  I've had better success with that.  Anyway, this code seems to be working now.
 * Note that in general, no one monitors your pages. It is best to leave questions on someone else's discuss page if you want to be sure they see it.  I just happened to be reviewing the log and saw this one.

 * Thank you very much, Dave! I were not aware of this, since library methods are called via colons. I thought of this but I used other names than page before, so the first one was bullseye. --Sebschlicht (discuss • contribs) 15:09, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
