[Mediawiki-l] #expr problem

[Daniel Bishop]

Hi,

This is because the {{PAGESINNS}} is returning 2*,*387.  The comma
(thousands) seperator causes #expr to fail as it only recognises raw numbers
for calculation purposes.  If you use the |R (raw number) parameter (i.e.
{{PAGESINNS:102|R}}, it should work.

Regards,
Daniel
