This Lua module is used on approximately 2,290,000 pages, or roughly 33280% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing 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.
{{#invoke:Separated entries|main|separator=...}}
