{{{1}}}
This template removes the last word of the first parameter, i.e. the last non-space token after the last space. 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
One parameter (space as separator):
{{Remove last word| string }} {{Remove last word|1= string }} Two parameters (user-defined character as separator):
{{Remove last word| string |sep= character }} {{Remove last word|1= string |sep= character }}
Examples
{{Remove last word|Remove last word}}{{Remove last word|Remove last}}{{Remove last word|Remove}}{{Remove last word|Remove, last word|sep=,}}{{Remove last word|Foo-bar|sep=-}} → Foo{{Remove last word|1=len = a+b|sep==}} → len
