Needs fixing

Something's wrong with this template. It, including its two subset templates, are simply copied from the English Wikipedia, so I don't understand why it behaves differently here from there. I hope someone can fix it. __meco (talk) 14:26, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

It might require Scribunto which is a programming language that BoyWiki doesn't support. I will have to look in to it. --Etenne (talk) 15:20, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

This is one of the problems:

Note, if using the output of magic words, you must raw format them in order to remove commas, and translate the numerals. For example 223 results in 3,955,021, where we want 3955021, which can be obtained using 223. This is especially important in some languages, where numerals are translated. For example, in Bengali, {{NUMBEROFUSERS}} produces ৩০,০৬১.

{{#expr:{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}+100}} → Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character ",".
{{#expr:{{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}|R}}+100}} → 3955121
