Template talk:FA number

message: Could someone add comma after the first '1' to make the number read '1,191' (as apposed to '1191')? All of the other numbers on the Main Page use commas as thousands-separators, so I think this should too for consistency. Thanks! :) - Lewis R « т · c » 09:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please reduce it by two; it should be at 1192 as of 22:20 UTC, Dec 11. Marskell 22:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reduce by two please 

message: It appears that the bot is shaping up nicely. (See Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Jmax-bot)  Assuming all goes well, at some point in the trial run it will have to retarget this template.  When it does, I suggest unprotection and removing the transclusion to the Main Page, for troubleshooting.  In that interim period, I would be happy to make manual updates to .  However, I'm not sure whether we want to do that early in the testing period or wait to make that the very last step. Thoughts? - BanyanTree 15:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Would it be better for the bot to put its version of the count somewhere else, say , until we've established that it's going to work properly (at which point it could start updating this template instead)? That way people can check it's working without having to stop using this template and updating manually – Gurch 02:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  unprotection for bot trial run 

message: The bot is now operating and approved.  Concerns arose about it getting a sysop flag and it is placing its FA count into User:Jmax-bot/FACount.js.  Are there any issues with transcluding that page here, or should it be transcluded directly as a template, i.e. ?  - BanyanTree 13:07, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that the js file has already been put on the Main Page, which answers my question.  I have replaced transclusion of this template as a counter and am redirecting to User:Jmax-bot/FACount.js.  Thanks to everyone for their patience and input! - BanyanTree 14:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
