Module:Arguments provides easy processing of arguments passed from #invoke. It is a meta-module, meant for use by other modules, and should not be called from #invoke directly. Its features include:

• Easy trimming of arguments and removal of blank arguments.
• Arguments can be passed by both the current frame and by the parent frame at the same time. (More details below.)
• Arguments can be passed in directly from another Lua module or from the debug console.
• Arguments are fetched as needed, which can help avoid (some) problems with <ref>...</ref> tags.
• Most features can be customized.
