An attempt is being made to assign user edit counts to categories. At the abpve URL: Expression 1: {{ #ifexpr: 10 > 9 | True | False }} works, Expression 2: {{padleft:{{Special:Editcount/gaarmyvet}}}} seems to work; however Expression 3: {{ #ifexpr: {{padleft:{{Special:Editcount/gaarmyvet}}}} > 2000 | More | Less }} fails and reports 'Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character " ",' with what seems to be a space between the double quotes. Analysis with Excel using the mid and code functions reveals that the "space" is an ascii 127 (DEL).
I think #ifexpr is seeing the "\x07UNIQ" placeholder. You may work around it by having a template with {{#ifexpr: {{{1}}} > 2000 | More | Less }} and calling it with the {{Special:Editcount/gaarmyvet}} parameter.
