hello!

at first, i'd like to say i have no experience with lua coding nor know how
it works. i am an admin on a fandom wiki so i guess my coding skills only
come to some limited html expressions. so sorry if i use some incorrect
wording!

yesterday i decided to implement a new module to our wiki called Line
distributions <https://loonatheworld.fandom.com/wiki/Module:LD>. basically,
it just shows a ranking of the group's members based on how much they sang
in a song. it uses local groups with members to work properly where some of
the members have a space in their name, e.g. "Kim Lip", "Go Won", or
"Olivia Hye". it also uses another module, called Index
<https://loonatheworld.fandom.com/wiki/Module:Index> to attribute each
members their respective color. this is where my problem arises. i cannot
enter a variable with a space in it, otherwise the whole code would break.
temporarily, i have conjoined the two-worded names of members as this
feature is still in a testing phase so it wouldn't make much of a
difference for the admins anyway. so my question is=E2=80=94is it possible =
to make
a variable with a space in it? i have tried adding an underscore or a plus
symbol, even an invisible special symbol, however none of these seem to
work like i'd like to.

i'm looking forward to your response. if you wish to see how the module
works, you can see it in my sandbox page
<https://loonatheworld.fandom.com/wiki/User:Dysharmonia/Sandbox>. feel free
to edit anything too, lol. there are some other few issues but i'll come
back to these later. thank you so much!!!
