Editing Manual of Style (section)

== Numbers ==
Always write numbers as '''digits''', never spelled out:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Correct !! Incorrect
|-
| provides housing for '''4''' people || provides housing for '''four''' people
|-
| costs '''35''' Wood || costs '''thirty-five''' Wood
|-
| produces '''2.5''' Food per day || produces '''two and a half''' Food per day
|}

{{MessageBox|title=Programmatical approach for game data|text=When talking about how much resource a building produces, don't detail it with numbers, but use the {{tl|BuildingData}} template. See [[#{{BuildingData}}|the BuildingData section]] for more details}}

Always include '''units and signs''' with numerical values: <code>+50/day</code>, <code>-2.0/day</code>, <code>-0.1/day</code>.

For large numbers (1,000 or more), use the <nowiki>{{formatnum:}}</nowiki> template to add comma separators: <code><nowiki>{{formatnum:10000}}</nowiki></code> renders as {{formatnum:10000}}.
