Documentation[edit source]
Helps clean up errant spaces after piping a link to remove anything ensconced in parentheses, e.g. "Pegasus (episode)." It is used in such templates as: Template:TRS, Template:TOS, Template:ComicLine, and the like.
What this fixes[edit source]
If using the regular "explode" expression to remove the parenthetical, e.g. "Pegasus (episode)", you'll get "Pegasus ", leaving an unsightly space between "Pegasus" and the end quotation mark.
Example:
{{#explode:Pegasus (episode)|(|0}}, an episode of the [[Re-imagined Series]].
Would print: Pegasus , an episode of the Re-imagined Series.
To fix the above example, one would then use this template thusly:
{{0|Pegasus (episode)}}, an episode of the [[Re-imagined Series]].
Would print: Pegasus, an episode of the Re-imagined Series.
