The NumberFormat extension allows to format numbers by grouping thousands and/or specifying the number of decimals to be shown. Additionally the number will be rounded if necessary. The symbols used as thousands separator and decimal point can optionally be specified.
This extension is most useful in conjunction with other extensions that print "raw" numbers — for example Semantic MediaWiki (see this tip on how to use NumberFormat with Semantic MediaWiki).
NumberFormat is a simple wrapper for the number_format()
PHP function and uses the same default values.
Installation
edit- Download and move the extracted
NumberFormat
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/NumberFormat - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'NumberFormat' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Usage
edit{{#number_format: number | decimals | dec_point | thousands_sep | orig_dec_point }}
where:
- number - the number being formatted (default empty)
- decimals - sets the number of decimal points (default "0", set "_" for do not round)
- dec_point - sets the separator for the decimal point (default ".")
- thousands_sep - sets the thousands separator (default ",", "n" = " " and "t" = " ")
- orig_dec_point - sets the separator for the decimal point in original number (default not set, if set - extension replace it to "." before use)
