:: +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)
:::: I agree that the excessive specification on the formatting of task output takes the focus away from how different languages best solve a task. It makes perfect sense to me to move those formatting specifications to their own separate task. --[[User:Tikkanz|Tikkanz]] ([[User talk:Tikkanz|talk]]) 20:16, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
