: Do we really need to agree on this kind of thing ? Optional seems more than good enough [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 12:24, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
:: +1 for that. See below. If the language supports locales for numbers then OK. Writing a subroutine putting commas every 3 digits in an Anglophobe interpretation of appropriate seems worse than pointless almost stupid.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 15:50, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
:::Agreed. Tasks should focus on one specific problem. If adding comma is a recurring theme, then make it a task and if you really feel it should appear everywhere, at least make it optional. Besides, not all languages use commas, in France at least the thousand separator is a space : much better to leave such details in a separate task. And while we are at it, adding non-breaking spaces everywhere in task descriptions should not be encouraged. [[User:Eoraptor|Eoraptor]] ([[User talk:Eoraptor|talk]]) 07:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
