Module:Separated entries/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Separated entries.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Module page.

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

This Lua module is used on approximately 1,000 pages.

To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this module should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit.

Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

Module:Separated entries serves as a template front-end to mw.text.listToText. It takes any number of positional parameters and pieces them together with |separator=. |conjunction= can be optionally defined if a different separator is desired between the last and second last items. The starting positional parameter can be specified using |start=. Leading and trailing whitespace is stripped. To add deliberate leading and trailing whitespace, use the HTML escape code   for a space and 
 for a "newline". Separated entries does not raise any errors by design.
