671900 - Support templates

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 659364

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Wiki pages, defect, P1)

Description

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

The MDN makes heavy use of programmable templates. Currently, these templates are built using MindTouch's DekiScript language, which is based on Lua and in many respects very similar to JavaScript. These templates need to be migrated to the new site losslessly along with all other content.

More information:
* A list of templates we use: https://developer.mozilla.org/Project:en/Custom_Templates
 - This is not a complete list but it does include a majority of them.
 - This might be a more complete list, over 500 or so listed: https://developer.mozilla.org/Template
* DekiScript reference: http://developer.mindtouch.com/en/docs/DekiScript/Reference
 - This includes information on the objects providing access to site and page information, and will give some insight into the types of functionality we need.

From what I understand, a core part of the MDN and required for migration. Marking as P1.
