Description Svick 2008-01-25 19:16:29 UTC
If I let Wikipedia evaluate expression {{ #expr:1000000 }}, it sometimes shows 1000000, but sometimes 1.0E+6. The change happens only when the page is regenerated. I think it is beacause WP uses both 32- and 64-bit servers and they generate different results, like in this bugreport:
http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6356
You can try it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svick/Sandbox?action=purge
This isn't just cosmetic, because some WP templates expect the correct value (without 'E').
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-02-13 18:17:53 UTC
Did a batch check to confirm all servers rendering this as expected currently.
