The formatnum magicword works differently in ml and en wikipedia.

Please see a page in english wikipedia using {{formatnum:−5}}. Please note that
the minus sign used here is x2215

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Vssun/sandbox&oldid=514823050

The same function at ml.wikipedia make the entire page blank

http://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B4%89%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%8D%3AVssun%2Ftest&diff=1429603&oldid=1429602

Changing the minus sign to - (x002D), solves the problem.

http://ml.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%B4%89%E0%B4%AA%E0%B4%AF%E0%B5%8B%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%A4%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%B5%E0%B5%8D:Vssun/test&diff=next&oldid=1429603

Please correct it in ml.wikipedia to use the formatnum function with both
styles of minus sign.
