The parser function {{#expr: }} appears to produce different results on Translations: pages than it does in other namespaces. This was first brought to our attention on Wikimedia Commons with this edit[1]; after some playing around, I managed to isolate the problem to {{#expr:}} with this edit[2], and confirmed the different behaviour by adding the same code to a page in my own user space[3] and then testing it again using preview at a different page in the Commons: namespace[4]. == References == * [1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=114102848 * [2] https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=115092528&oldid=115091915 * [3] https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=115092667 * [4] https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=115093149&oldid=115005227
Please provide more detail. What is the actual value? What is expected value. "{{#expr:{{formatnum:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Quality images}}|R}} - 100}}" is too complex example to understand what is going on.
I doubt this is a Translate bug: as I already told Odder, he/we need to verify whether #expr wants formatted or unformatted numbers and what assumptions it makes on content language...
As demonstrated in [3], the expected value of that function is 61390; the output on that Translations: page is -38.465. (In reply to comment #2) > I doubt this is a Translate bug: as I already told Odder, he/we need to The function behaves the same way on regular MediaWiki: pages (tested in NS_USER and NS_PROJECT, see above), but produces different results in Translations: — hence the assumption the bug lies in the latter.
There are at least four places where something can go wrong in that example. Please narrow it down.

I don't see any MediaWiki:/ns8 page in the examples. You can see the page language in action=info.

OK, it appears the problem lies within {{formatnum: }} and not in {{#expr:}}: compare https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=115117520&oldid=115094092 and https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=115117560&oldid=115092667
That's expected behaviour, formatnum is trying to unformat according to Polish rules but you provided it with an English-formatted numbers. This is a core issue, invalid for Translate and duplicate of bug 35922 for core.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words#Formatting suggests that the numbers are formatted according to the wiki's default locale, which in Commons's example is, I think, English.
The problem is that CoreParserFunctions::formatRaw uses content language and not page language while formatnum raw excepts page language.
[Is this bug still invalid or duplicate?]
Change 110342 had a related patch set uploaded by Nikerabbit: Parser functions now format numbers according to page language https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/110342

Not this bug, obviously; please ignore comment 13.
