-- Purpose: Construct a MediaWiki template invocation. | |||
-- Description: This function makes a template invocation from the | |||
-- name and the arguments given. Note that it isn't | |||

-- in the original invocation, the order of the parameters | |||
-- may be changed, and any parameters with duplicate keys | |||
-- will be removed. | |||
-- Parameters: name - the template name, formatted as it will appear | |||
-- in the invocation. (string) | |||
-- args - a table of template arguments. (table) | |||
-- format - formatting options. (string, optional) | |||
-- Set to "nowiki" to escape, curly braces, pipes and | |||
-- equals signs with their HTML entities. The default | |||
-- is unescaped. | |||
-- Returns: String | |||
