Description Huji 2008-11-07 18:15:04 UTC
As an enhancement, I suggest allowing more formatting options with formatnum. It should:

* Allow localization of a number given the destination locale: {{formatnum:123|fa}} should output ۱۲۳ regardless of the content language of the wiki on which it is run.
* Allow deciding about how to handle decimals: bug 10454 is relevant here.
* Allow deciding about how to handle thousands separated: one should have a way to output a number without thousands separators. This is for example useful when you want to add/substract two years (four digit latin numbers) using ParserFcuntions, and show the results in a localized way.

I thought these are so bound together that they deserve to be requested in one bug rather than several separate bugs.

I'd perhaps keep formatnum as is for interface messages and introduce something else for content.
