@supertobi I think @trougnouf has just triggered the next step(s) in the evolution of the lua-scripts repository. Here's what I think needs addressed:

luarocks dependency. Currently we have one script that has a requirement for an external library and we've just kind of ignored it and left it up to the user to resolve. I've avoided using external lua dependencies because I could and I didn't want to figure it out at the time. I think the time has come to address it.
script documentation. Currently we don't really have a good method of addressing script documentation. I rip the beginning comments from the scripts to use in the tooltips for script_manager, but that's the only script documentation that's available. Perhaps markdown formatted files in a doc directory?
scripts in subdirectories. I'm currently working on the plugin API, which envisions each plugin in it's own directory. However, the plugin API is nowhere close to ready. A script in a subdirectory will probably break script_manager at the worst, or at the best it will just get ignored. One solution is to split this up and put the README.md in a doc directory, the MediaWikiAPI.lua in the lib directory, and dtMediaWiki.lua in the contrib directory. Or, I can change script manager to correctly handle scripts in subdirectories. I guess the real question is what do we want the repository tree to look like?

I propose opening issues for each of the above so that we can address them in their own thread.

@trougnouf could you point us at a page that has been populated using this script so that we can see what the output looks like? Thanks

@wpferguson All files uploaded with the plugin are added to Uploaded_with_dtMediaWiki. File:SNCB_978_leaving_the_Ronet_classification_yard_(DSCF5536).jpg probably uses the latest revision (and makes uses the "other versions" feature).

I'm not a really big fan of all the script repositories (luarocks, CPAN, note.js, ...) not managed from the standard system way to install software. On the other hand it brings a lot of power and we should not block them.
Subfolder or document folder? I like subfolders more. Have you tested it with your script manager?

Any feedback as to why this was rejected?

Any feedback as to why this was rejected?

It had the label waiting for feedback and it had been almost 4 years so I assumed that you had lost interest (and I finally got around to some house cleaning). Now that I opened it, I see where you pushed some commits, so my bad for assuming.

I'll reopen it and we'll see if we can get it finished.

I think I addressed everything I can at the time.

I just pushed an update to the latest commit from my repo.
