In many cases we want to uses Extension:FormatNum but it is not activated. for example in templates we want to set template to show numbers in Persian characters but if we use {{formatnum:}} it will add decimal separator and it is not good for year numbers! now {{formatnum:2011}}==>۲،۰۱۱ would you please activate this extension in fa.wiki? http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FormatNum
Extension needs review before deploy It is relatively a simple extension though
but it is useful for us and we can set it like {{#formatnum: 2010|||}} and it gives us ۲۰۱۱ that doesn't have decimal separator comparing to {{formatnum:2011}}==>۲،۰۱۱

I didn't say you couldn't have it. I said it needs review before it can be enabled on the cluster.
would you please install Extension:FormatNum on http://winkyfrown.com/fawiki/index.php/Numbers I want to test it
(In reply to comment #4) > would you please install Extension:FormatNum on No. It's not our wiki.
You might actually just want bug 35753 fixed.

It would be nice to indicate if (i) your need is covered by bug 37573 (ii) we would need to do other stuff in our core FORMATNUM (iii) you really the need FormatNum extension.
as I said in first comment in many cases we need local numbers {{formatnum:}} adds thousand separators. we want an option to have locale number without thousand separators like bug 35753
it doesn't need if bug 35753 is solved
