Forum:Expr issues

Hello,

I was trying to make custom template for editcounts. In order to calculate the number of edits in percent, i tried to use (for this example):

however, when i write it, it looks like this:

Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "".

Is there any way to fix this?

Well, i've also tried using the entitiy  & # 9 2 ; , but it doesn't seem to work.

Is "*100\" supposed to read "multiply by 100 and then divide" ? If so, that's the wrong slash. -- 70.50.151.6 04:20, September 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Having just had this discussion recently, per w:c:bloons:Thread:26912, this is a result of some bug, not the result of anything you are doing wrong with code. Bug demonstration:

Number without commas: 6,424

Editcount without commas (bug): 0

Number without commas: 6,424

Editcount without commas (bug): 0


 * Because of this bug with formatnum not working properly on the trancluded special page, there's nothing you can do to make a template that displays edit counts right now. You should make a bug report to Special:Contact/bug, because the only solution to this problem is for Wikia to fix the problem that's happening behind the scenes. There's nothing you're doing wrong with your code, and there's nothing you can do to fix this.


 * Thanks, i will contact them.
