Hi there! I am new to wiki template editing, so please be gentle if possible :). I've just finished reading about template parameters, parser functions, Lua, etc.

I want to be able to create a wiki template that grabs text from another webpage and then inserts it onto the page that the template is located on. I assume some JavaScript is needed for this, using something like a getElementById, but that is just an assumption about how I would do this. How does one code JavaScript into a wiki template?

Also, if JavaScript is not supported by wiki templates, how would I go about doing the text-grabbing I mentioned earlier? Thanks so much for bearing with me!
