Remove unused "x" parameter
Hello, this template currently supports "x" as an alternative name for the parameter (refs [ 668935791]). Though, this alternative name isn't used at all on the wiki (nor documented).

You can check it by yourself:
 * insource:"Trim" insource:/Trim *\| *x *\=/i

And the redirects:
 * Pages that link to "User:Dragons flight/str trim"
 * insource:"Strip whitespace" insource:/\| *x *\=/
 * insource:"Str trim" insource:/\| *x *\=/
 * insource:"StripWhitespace" insource:/\| *x *\=/
 * insource:"Cut" insource:/Cut *\| *x *\=/i

The results are actually some &lt;nowiki&gt;'ed code examples, and a few false positives (the above searches are deliberately broad). The only change I had to make: [ 1117988946] (and [ 1117988966]).

Removing this parameter would be a minor optimization, but multiplied by the 1705162 transclusions it may be interesting ;-)

 * ❌ it isn't very clear what you want changed. You can make changes in the sandbox here: Template:Trim/sandbox, then you will need to test it well and document your tests, as this is used on a huge number of pages. — xaosflux  Talk 21:20, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm just asking to replace  with  . I demonstrated above the "x" parameter name isn't used anywhere. Od1n (talk) 23:02, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, looks like that came over as a result of a merge in from the Template:Strip whitespace redirect. any special notes on that (c.f. Templates_for_discussion/Log/2015_June_19)? —  xaosflux  Talk 10:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

✅. I am convinced that this parameter is not being used anywhere, although removing it was of very low priority! &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
