Template:File extension/doc

This template uses Lua:

Module:String (sandbox)

This is a documentation subpage for Template:File extension.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Outputs the file extension of the filename indicated by parameter {{{1}}}. In the File: namespace, this parameter defaults to {{PAGENAME}}. In all other namespaces, the default output is an empty string. Any uppercase letters in the file extension are changed to lowercase.
