'''<big><big><math>\pi</math></big></big>''' (pi) is a number, so is '''+1.5''' and '''-6'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:42, 4 May 2015 (UTC) |

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 |
|||
abc._#5 |
|||
fits that requirement as the numeral '''5''' 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) |
