In principle, there is just one not-so-complex function doing it right now: smwfNumberFormat() found in SMW_GlobalFunctions.php If you could extend this function to support the kind of behavior that you envision, then I can take care of updating the datatypes in a suitable way. I think you suggest this only for plain numbers (no units), right? Internationalization would be a problem, since there is probably no common scheme on how/when to abbreviate large numbers. As a workaround for the problem that you describe, I have shifted the default maximum size for numbers that are shown without using exp notation. At least all population numbers should now be displayed without exp. Since I will not be working on the other issue any time soon, I close this bug as "Later" -- as I said, your input would be welcome. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
