Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
WarningThis template is used on approximately 177,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template uses Lua:
  • Module:String (sandbox)

This template removes the first word of the first parameter. Use |1= for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |sep= can set the separator to any character.

Usage

edit

One parameter (space as separator):

  • {{Remove first word|string}}
  • {{Remove first word|1=string}}

Two parameters (user-defined character as separator):

  • {{Remove first word|string|sep=character}}
  • {{Remove first word|1=string|sep=character}}

Examples

edit
  • {{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}} → bår bàz
  • {{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}} → bår bàz
  • {{Remove first word|a b}} → b
  • {{Remove first word|Fôo-bår}} →
  • {{Remove first word|Fôo-bår bàz}} → bàz

  • {{Remove first word|Hear ye, users|sep=,}} → users
  • {{Remove first word|1=len = a+b|sep==}} → a+b
