             Bug #: 36858
           Summary: negative numbers look weird in the feedback bubble
                    remaining characters count
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Moodbar

At least in some languages a negative number looks weird in the
moodbar-form-note-dynamic message.

I can think of two solutions:

1. Simplistic: Simplify the message to say "Remaining characters: $1". This was
actually done already for the Russian translation. It's not perfect, but it's
simple and reasonably understandable.

2. Nice, but possibly a bit complicated: Make the message smarter by showing
different text for 0 and for negative numbers. Something like: "No characters
remaining" and "$1 {{PLURAL:$1|character|characters}} too many}}".
