Wikimedia Commons is a multilingual project that hosts over 80 million freely licensed multimedia files, which are available for use on Wikipedia and other websites. These files are organized using categories, around 4 million of which display a multilingual infobox that fetches information from Wikidata to describe the category's contents in over 200 languages. It is currently coded using MediaWiki ParserFunctions and calls to Lua modules. The aim of this project is to rewrite the infobox completely in Lua, so that it loads significantly more quickly.
