Line 23:
 
'''<big><big><math>\pi</math></big></big>''' &nbsp; (pi) &nbsp; is a number, &nbsp; so is &nbsp;'''+1.5''' &nbsp; and &nbsp; '''-6'''. &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:42, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 
 
Another also:
 
The 2nd part of the definition of a filename extension states that:
* consists of a period, followed by one or more ASCII letters or digits (A-Z, a-z, 0-9)
I would argue that the filename &nbsp;
abc._#5
fits that requirement as the numeral &nbsp; '''5''' &nbsp; follows the period.
 
Therefore, the following would be more apt:
* consists of a period, followed ''solely'' by one or more ASCII letters or digits (A-Z, a-z, 0-9)
which would exclude any extraneous characters.
 
And, yes, I know that one of the test cases (examples) shows this, but examples shouldn't be used as definitions. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:40, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
