Recently a thousands separator was added to {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}. However, the separator is "."; a . in numbers means nothing in Norwegian - except perhaps version no. (like in MediaWiki 1.6.2). The correct thousands separator is a space - preferrably using nbsp, as line breaks inside numbers is considered bad typography. The decimal separator for ParserFunctions expressions is actually also set to a ".", while that should correctly be ",". If those could be changed, that'd be great.
Is this a request for norwegian wikis or a global one? May {{NUMBEROFARTICLES|R}} (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5768) help you?
(In reply to comment #1) > Is this a request for norwegian wikis or a global one? I'm going to suggest it's a Norweigan-specific one, since the separator's been there since the word has, and I'll wager the number formatting functions for Norweigan were updated not too long ago.
Changed to nbsp in trunk.
Thank you! =)
This is already fixed in the Norwegian Wikipedia at nn. But on nb {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} still contains a period. Please note that both nynorsk (nn) and bokmål (nb) use the same conventions in cases like this (e.g. non-breakable space as thousands separator), so when a fix is made for one Norwegian Wikipedia, it can be applied also to the other one.
I assume you are speaking of the no.wikipedia.org, which is exactly what I fixed. nn.wikipedia.org was already using nbsp.
