This template uses Lua :
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 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 {{Remove first word|Fôo bår bàz}}{{Remove first word| Fôo bår bàz}}{{Remove first word| a b}}{{Remove first word|Fôo-bår}}{{Remove first word|Fôo-bår bàz}}{{Remove first word|Fôo-bår bàz|sep=-}} → bår bàz{{Remove first word|34,000,500|sep=,}} → 000,500{{Remove first word|Hear ye, users|sep=,}} → users{{Remove first word|1=len = a+b|sep==}} → a+bSee also String-handling templates
