=== Invocation ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
mTemplateInvocation.invocation(name, args, format)
</syntaxhighlight>

This function creates a MediaWiki [[Help:Template|template]] invocation.

Parameters:
* '''name''' - the name of the template (string, required). This should be exactly as it will appear in the invocation, e.g. for [[Template:Example]] use "Example". To generate the template name from a page name you can use the [[#Name|name]] function.
* '''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]].

'''Example'''

The code {{code|1=mTemplateInvocation.invocation('foo', {'bar', 'baz', abc = 'def'})|2=lua}} would produce <code><nowiki>{{foo|bar|baz|abc=def}}</nowiki></code>.
