Needs better word extraction than Template:first word

This template needs better word extraction than {{first word}}, which includes commas. This means that even though "iOS" is on the whitelist, the short description "iOS, macOS, and tvOS software" fails the check. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:02, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: Would {{First word|iOS, etc.|sep= ,}} → iOS do the trick? Note the {{{sep}}} parameter treats its inputs as OR i.e. it looks for '_' or ',' not '_,' . ― Qwerfjkl talk 21:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

lcfirst?

Why doesn't this template just use lcfirst in a comparison to check if the first character is lowercase?

{{ #ifeq: {{{1}}} | {{lcfirst:{{{1}}}}}
| <!-- lowercase; extract first word and check against allowlist -->
| <!-- uppercase or uncased character; do nothing -->
}}

Dinoguy1000, in case there's a situation where a valid lowercase word which is not in the allowlist is used; it's better to spot it in the tracking category than have some editor wonder why they can't fix the short description. — Qwerfjkl talk 19:43, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore that last comment, clearly I'm too tired to be editing. Pinging @Jonesey95. — Qwerfjkl talk 19:45, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, this made me double-check my own thinking and realize I'd suggested the wrong function for the logic as given. =) 「ディノ奴千？！」^{☎ Dinoguy1000} 03:38, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
