Not done: {{edit protected}} is usually not required for edits to the documentation, categories, or interlanguage links of templates using a documentation subpage. Use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. --Redrose64 (talk) 08:58, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 30 September 2013

[edit]

I am requesting that this template be updated to allow the option of using a non-breaking space between the number and the text (in place of the current breaking space). The updated code can be found in Template:Plural/sandbox. The following shows an example of how it would work (the output was placed inside a narrow <div> to force a line break).

Example Current output Sandbox output
Non-breaking space: {{plural|20|year|nb=y}}
20 years
20 years
Breaking space (default): {{plural|20|year}}
20 years
20 years

Additional examples can be found at Template:Plural/testcases. -- Zyxw (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done Except I used {{yesno}} so {{plural|20|year|nb=no}} will do what the user probably expects. Anomie 02:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick response and also for adding nb=no to the test cases. -- Zyxw (talk) 04:03, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
