:Hello Nacho! I agree completely, and so did the first group of Spanish translators on the wiki. Unfortunately, as of mediawiki v1.21, the standard is to use a space instead of a dot. It's not easy to find the source for this decision, but I did find this: https://github.com/dantman/mediawiki-core/blob/master/HISTORY (under "Languages updated in 1.21" it says "(bug 34977) Now formatted numbers in Spanish use space as separator for thousands, as mandated by the Real Academia Española.")
:I searched the RAE website and found nothing. I google-searched for "mediawiki number format standards", and again found '''nothing''' (most frustrating!)
:If you refer to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words/es#Formato and then try it yourself, you will see that <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:1.000.000.000}}</nowiki></code> produces {{formatnum:1.000.000.000}} (not what we want). If we try <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:1000000000}}</nowiki></code>, we get {{formatnum:1000000000}}, and <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:1,000,000,000}}</nowiki></code> produces {{formatnum:1,000,000,000}}.
:If you switch to another language wiki, you'll see different results with the same code. German and Turkish use a dot, but French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Portuguese use a space. The other languages use a comma.
:I will keep searching for a solution, but I may not be able to change it.
:I do have some good news, though. In v1.6, the game will use "o" for "oro" instead of "G" for gold. I asked ConcernedApe personally for this change after our last discussion, and he agreed. So, the wiki will also use an "o" instead of ''nothing''.
:I hope this helps a little. 😬 [[Usuario:Margotbean|margotbean]] ([[Usuario discusión:Margotbean|discusión]]) 03:55 11 feb 2023 (UTC)
