Trim by checking	{{Trim}} – To trim any leading or trailing whitespace ({{Strip whitespace}} does so too, but is less effective) {{First word}} – To trim down to the first space. {{Remove first word}} – To remove anything before the first space. {{Str letter/trim}} – To trim down to the beginning letters. {{Str number/trim}} – To trim down to the beginning numbers.
Insert strings	{{Loop}} – Repeat character string n times {{Replace}} – Returns the string, after replacing all occurrences of a specified string with another string. {{Strloc insert}} – Inserts a string at character location strloc, or appends if strloc<=0. {{Strloc prefix}} – Extracts string prefix up to location strloc, or whole string if strloc<=0. {{Str rep}} – Returns the string, after replacing the first occurrence of a specified string with another string.
Length	{{Str len}} – Returns a string's length. {{iflenge}} – IF LENgth Greater than or Equal to. {{Str ≥ len}} – To check if a string is "longer or equally long" or "shorter" than a given length. {{Str ≤ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter or equally long" or "longer" than a given length. {{Str ≠ len}} – To check if a string is "not equal" or "equal" to a given length. {{Str ≤ ≥ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter", "equal", or "longer" than a given length.
Analyse string	{{Str endswith}} – To check if a string ends with a given string. {{Str find}} – Returns the numerical location of a given string in a string. {{Strfind short}} – Returns the numerical location of a given string in a string. {{Str find0}} – Zero-based substring search. {{Str sub find}} – Searches a substring in a string at the given offset. {{ASCII code}} – Returns the ASCII value of a single character. {{Str letter}} – Returns the number of letters that begin a string. {{Str number}} – Returns the number of numbers that begin a string. {{Str gtr str}} – Compares two strings for alphabetical order, and returns a value accordingly. {{a or an}} – Takes a noun and produces the appropriate indefinite article, based on whether the first letter is a vowel.
Trim, dedicated	{{WikiProjectbasename}} - Removes "WikiProject" from a pagename {{Remove unranked}} - Removes the string "unranked_" from the left of a string (taxonomy). {{Ship prefix}} – Returns the length of a ship name prefix, if listed (ship names). {{Title without disambig}} – To trim off any parenthesis text at the end of a string (disambiguation). {{Title disambig text}} – Returns text in parenthesis at the end of a string (disambiguation). {{Unlink}} – Removes wikilink brackets (wikicode). {{Remove file prefix}}—Removes "File:" or "Image:" from filenames.
