Template talk:Birth date and age

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 225 results in 3,955,021, where we want 3955021, which can be obtained using 225. 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

I got rid of all but one error and I can't seem to find that one. I will have to look at it again with fresh eyes. --Etenne (talk) 16:31, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

It might work now just without the last two templates which require Scribunto--Etenne (talk) 17:17, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Example:{{Birth date|1993|2|4|df=yes}}

Gives: (1993-02-04)4 February 1993
