Template:Spellnum per MOS

This template should besubstituted unless the argument is dynamic (i.e., generated by another template or module that cannot be substituted).

Converts numerals to words if appropriate per the style guide MOS:NUMERAL. The first unnamed parameter is the numeral to be evaluated. All optional parameters of {{number to word}} are accepted by this template.

Editors using this template are responsible for checking its output against the detailed guidance of MOS:NUMERAL.

Behavior

• Non-integers and values less than zero are given in numerals (e.g. 0.5, -3).
• Integers from zero to nine are spelled out in words (e.g. five).
• For integers greater than or equal to ten:
  • By default, numbers expressible in one or two words are spelled out (e.g. fifty-six), and numbers requiring three or more words are given as numerals (e.g. 310).
  • If the argument "forcenum" is given with a value of "true" (or equivalent per Template:Yesno), integers greater than or equal to ten are always expressed as a numeral.
• Numbers greater than one million are rounded to at most two significant figures when expressed with words.
