{{lua|Module:String|category=Lua String-based templates}}

== Usage ==

This template returns the current {{tld|PAGENAME}} minus (text in parentheses) or the final set of parentheses where more than one set exist.

e.g. {{tlx|PAGENAMEBASE}} on page [[Chiton (genus)]] returns {{PAGENAMEBASE|Chiton (genus)}}

::on [[Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (album)]] returns {{PAGENAMEBASE|Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) (album)}}

::on [[Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)]] returns {{PAGENAMEBASE|Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)}}

::on [[Stadion der Freundschaft (Frankfurt (Oder))]] returns {{PAGENAMEBASE|Stadion der Freundschaft (Frankfurt (Oder))}}

Can also pass an optional page parameter:

* {{tlc|PAGENAMEBASE|foo (bar)}} → "{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo (bar)}}"

* {{tlc|PAGENAMEBASE|foo bar}} → "{{PAGENAMEBASE|foo bar}}"

It is not to be confused with {{tld|BASEPAGENAME}}, which is a [[mw:Help:Magic words|magic word]] that strips subpages, not parentheses.
