See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Greg_L/Val_microsandbox About 80% of the time, {val} works to 14 digits. But about 20% of the time, only the 12-digit value doesn’t return an error message. Thus, as it currently stands, {val} can only be recommended for use up to 12 digits. Already, in just one en.Wiki article, [[Kilogram]], there is one 13-digit value that can’t use {val}.
