Template:Ordinal to word
Template documentation
transcluded from Template:Ordinal to word/doc. (Edit | history)Note to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.
Converts an integer in the range -999,999 to 999,999 into an ordinal number in the English language.
Usage
{{Ordinal to word|integer[|zeroth=zeroth][|us=on]}}
integer: Required. An integer in the range -999,999 to 999,999.
zeroth: Optional. The value to use when the number is 0. Default is "zeroth". Can be made empty or, for example, "seed" or "one before the first" as appropriate for the context.
us: Optional. If the value is "on", the output of numbers does not include "and" to separate hundreds from smaller values, nor to separate thousands from hundreds. This accords with American usage as described at English numerals.
This template should not be used in running prose in articles; it is intended for automated script processing of numeric data. Writing something like "in the {{ordinal to word|13}} match of the seasons" serves no purpose, and just makes the wikicode harder to understand and edit.
