{{Chop head and tail|12345654321|3}}
gives 45654.
Unlinking
rættaThis template can be used to "unlink" a linked parameter.

{{Chop head and tail|[[Einstein]]}}
Limitations
rætta- Expensive.
- When used on strings with characters that carry a meaning in wiki-layout, this template will interpret the character as a layout instruction (bugzilla:12974). For example,
{{Chop head and tail|[[123;456]]}}
renders as
123;456 - Supports the character set as defined by {{Str index/getchar}}, so that e.g.
{{Chop head and tail|[[Nürnberg]]}}
renders correctly as Nürnberg. However, not all characters are in this set.
