 | This module issubject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it isprotected from editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 1,000 pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this module should first be tested in its/sandbox or/testcases subpages.The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on thetalk page before implementing them. |

Module:Separated entries serves as a template front-end tomw.text.listToText. It takesany number of positional parameters andpieces 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.
