In the case of <code>strings</code> and <code>stringlist</code>, a second parameter can be added to note what the strings are limited to. For example:
<pre>{{Values|stringlist|[[Animations]]}}</pre>
yields "{{Values|stringlist|[[Animations]]}}".

The list separator defaults to "Comma", but can also be explicitly stated in the following way:
<pre>{{Values|stringlist|[[Sound filenames]]|separator=Whitespace}}</pre>
This yields "{{Values|stringlist|[[Sound filenames]]|separator=Whitespace}}".
