I intend to eventually make a "DinkLua Reference" in the same vein as the DinkC reference, but depression is a rough mistress and is keeping me from making progress on anything right now. ?
Best I can do for you at the moment is my WIP translation of the original Dink game from DinkC into DinkLua which you can find at https://github.com/ilyvion/dinklua. While it was meant as notes for me and not really the general public, there's a file called notes.txt in there that at least goes into what I intend to go into once I get around to the documentation part. ? More importantly, though, this repository of script files should let you check out how to accomplish "the same thing" in DinkLua as you would in DinkC for a given script from the original game. (I'm roughly up to Windemere in terms of translation progress through the game.)
In general though, functions that in DinkC are foo(...) will be dink.foo(...) in DinkLua, unless they operate on sprites, in which case sp_foo(sprite_number, ...) becomes sprite_object:foo(...). Most of these differences should be pretty well documented in the Wiki you mentioned. So if you can look something up in the DinkC reference, and read that Wiki entry for any differences, you should be able to figure out how to do something.
