Apparently there is wild disagreement on what the proper formatting is; since no one complained in the previous 8 years I'm returning it to the status quo. Reverted and resolving INVALID based on unclear request. --- Comment #22 from DaSch <[email protected]> 2009-06-23 05:15:21 UTC --- The rules for german formatting are clear, there are just an bunch of people that have problem with this in german wikipedia, but because of the fact that this is not only wikipedia software there should be a solution for this a problem with the solution made was that positiv and negativ numbers where not formatted equaly --- Comment #23 from STBR <[email protected]> 2009-06-23 10:02:40 UTC --- DaSch, please realize your pushing of ISO or DIN norms has not been discussed widely and thus lacking of concensus. Please also realize, that these norms are almost never applied in electronic media because it has a very simple reason: DIN recommends using a *small* space, not the usual standard space. But lots of programs have problems displaying the small space character defined in UTF8 correctly. Due to this, in the de-DE cultural settings the dot is used as delimiter for thousands. Even Microsoft uses the point as delimiter for German regional settings in their latest OS Windows Vista. So German Wikipedia advised to use the point as delimiter due to the technical difficulties. By implementing this format setting, you would all in a sudden create a massive inconsistency between the formatting applied by this template and the formatting used in the more than 920,000 articles created so far. Evenmore, you would not solve the problem but even replace a valid alternative formatting (dot) with a completely wrong formatting (standard space). I consider this as a non desired behavior. As I already recommended in the marked as duplicate bug 19857, it may be a good idea to make the formatting rule configureable via an option in the config file or via mediawiki system message. --- Comment #24 from DaSch <[email protected]> 2009-06-23 10:08:34 UTC --- maybe it's widely used but it's not valid! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
