उदाहरण

local newBuffer = require('Module:OutputBuffer')
local p = {}

function p.main()
	local getBuffer, print, printf = newBuffer()
	print('Welcome to the English Wikipedia.')
	printf('There are currently %d articles on this site.', mw.site.stats.articles)
	return getBuffer(' ')
end

return p

-- Assuming this module's name is "TestModule", and that mw.site.stats.articles returns 4500000,
-- {{#invoke:TestModule|main}} would output:
-- "Welcome to the English Wikipedia. There are currently 4500000 articles on this site."
