This template is used on approximately 116,000 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 removes the first word of the first parameter. Use |{{SAFESUBST:#if:1|1=}} for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |{{SAFESUBST:#if:sep|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}}
