Bug #: 31259
Summary: Large numbers are rendered differently depending on
which server is rendering them
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Large numbers such as 82,000,000 get rendered as 8.2E+7 by one server and
82000000 by another. The former is wrong and makes parsing numbers in templates
(such as {{val}}) impossible. A little investigation indicates that servers
named "srv*" render it as 8.2E+7 and servers named "mw*" render it as 82000000.
I've been told at the village pump that filing a bug here may help find the
root cause and resolve it.
