Hello! I have noticed that the price is "separated" every time a price is set for a value of more than 4 digits. Such as "1 000" "12 000", etc.

I have asked some users and commented with them (Spanish speaking). And we have concluded that it is better to "join" the prices with a "." (which in the Spanish system is not a decimal. The character we use to determine a decimal is ","), resulting in a value of "1.000" "12.000" or "10.000.000".

It is much more pleasing to the "Spanish" eye to see a number in this way, rather than separated by a space (which, although the idea was correct, could be further improved).

Thank you very much!

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 {{formatnum:1.000.000.000}} produces 1,000,000,000 (not what we want). If we try {{formatnum:1000000000}}, we get 1 000 000 000, and {{formatnum:1,000,000,000}} produces 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. 😬 margotbean (discusión) 03:55 11 feb 2023 (UTC)
