Changing component to the extension. I'm also lowering priority (I don't feel
"high" is appropriate for this bug ). And tagging i18n as its sort of an i18n
issue.
formatnum: also adds comma's/period's. For example in tr language
{{formatnum:1000}} becomes 1.000 (periods are the thousands separator in tr).
Thus 1.000 would have very different meanings depending on if you assumed it
was a formatted number or a "raw" number. (I suppose we could just transform
digits and not separators, but that feels really ugly, and it'd still have to
be done carefully).
I don't feel this is a large issue because #expr is mostly used in templates,
and not encountered as much by the "average" user (although I could be wrong on
that), and thus am leaning towards thinking this should be a WONTFIX. Keep in
mind you can also do {{#expr:{{formatnum:{{{1}}}|R}}*1}} in templates, which
will de-format the number so your users can use fa numerals properly
reza1615: Could you give examples of times when this makes life difficult on fa
(or other languages for that matter) projects in order to better judge if
{{#formatnum:۲|R}} is sufficient (making this a wontfix) or if this should be a
higher priority issue?
