Help:Magic words/diq

If this switch is not intended to be transcluded with the template's contents, it should be used inside ‎<noinclude>...‎</noinclude> (or on a template documentation page inside ‎<includeonly>...‎</includeonly>), similarly to template categories. See Help:Templates#Controlling template inclusion .

If the switch is intended to remove from the report all pages that transclude a given template (for example, a notice that is transcluded on testcases or sandbox subpages), put the switch inside ‎<includeonly>...‎</includeonly> tags within the template page.

It can take a second argument of noerror or noreplace to suppress error messages when multiple displaytitles are used on one page or to make this displaytitle do nothing if a displaytitle was already specified earlier in the page.

(for noerror and noreplace)

Used to include a vertical bar (pipe).

See Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Escaping pipe characters in tables for further explanation.

Before this was added as a magic word, many wikis implemented this by creating Template:! with | as the content.

Used to include an equal sign.

See Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Raw equal signs for further explanation.

Before this was added as a magic word, many wikis implemented this by creating Template:= with = as the content.

The parameter nowiki usually removes the link around the filepath (which can't be seen in this example).

Note that the default changed from |WIKI to |QUERY in 1.17; this may break templates that rely on this function.

{{formatnum:unformatted number}}
{{formatnum:formatnum-formatted number|R}}
{{formatnum:unformatted number|NOSEP}}

• Simple:
  • {{formatnum:987654321.654321}}
    → 987,654,321.654321
  • {{formatnum:987,654,321.654321|R}}
    → 987654321.654321
• Advanced:
  • {{formatnum:{{formatnum:987654321.654321}}|R}}
    → 987654321.654321 (on any locale)
  • {{formatnum:00001}}
    → 00,001
  • {{formatnum:987654321.654321 |NOSEP}}
    → 987654321.654321
  • Examples with Bangla locale:
    • {{formatnum:987654321.654321}}
      → ৯৮,৭৬,৫৪,৩২১.৬৫৪৩২১
    • {{formatnum:987654321.654321 |NOSEP}}
      → ৯৮৭৬৫৪৩২১.৬৫৪৩২১
    • {{formatnum:৯৮,৭৬,৫৪,৩২১.৬৫৪৩২১ |R}}
      → 987654321.654321

Unsupported:
{{formatnum:{{formatnum:987.654.321}}}}
→ 987 654 321 (e.g. with Italian locale)

Examples of wrong input (unreliable output), with or without |R:
{{formatnum:987,654.321|R}} (the least broken)
{{formatnum:987.654,321|R}}
{{formatnum:987 654,321|R}}
{{formatnum:987 654,321|R}}

The |R parameter can be used to reverse the behavior, for use in mathematical situations: it's reliable and should be used only to deformat numbers which are known to be formatted exactly as formatnum formats them with the wiki's locale.
The NOSEP ("no separators") parameter means that no group / decimal separators are changed; formatnum will only transform the digits themselves in languages which don't use the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. NOSEP can also prevent non-standard digit groupings you wouldn't expect.
