Plain language

To display in plain language:

{{Wikipedia rank by size/WP|2}} → ढाँचा:Wikipedia rank by size/WP

This is useful when building dynamic ordered lists. For example:

  1. {{Wikipedia rank by size/WP|1}} {{NUMBEROF|articles|{{Wikipedia rank by size|1}}|N}}
  2. {{Wikipedia rank by size/WP|2}} {{NUMBEROF|articles|{{Wikipedia rank by size|2}}|N}}

Produces:

  1. ढाँचा:Wikipedia rank by size/WP ६,९१२,८१९
  2. ढाँचा:Wikipedia rank by size/WP ६,११६,९०१

For sites other than Wikipedia (eg. Wikiquote) use this method:

  1. [[Wikiquote|{{Mw lang|{{Wikipedia rank by size|2|wikiquote}}}}]]
