-- Sample Module demonstrating how to access arguments.
-- For more about the Frame object, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Frame_object
-- Unit tests at Module:BananasArgs/testcases

-- No arguments, used like: {{#invoke:BananasArgs|hello_world}}

	return "Hello, " .. name .. "!" -- .. name .. replace by the word Fred
