hi, are you still doing your school homework assignments with
wikitext? get a calculator, already!

The requested check of WMF’s serve pool settings is so the {val}  
template can return consistent performance at 14 digits when  
delimiting high-precision numerical equivalencies and universal  
constants, which are today often expressed to 13 digits or more in  
physics and science.

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}.
