===Numbers===
{{Shortcut|BS:NUMBERS}}
For numbers, a comma should be used as a thousands separator.

Number ranges should be indicated with an endash (<code>–</code>; HTML entity: <code>&amp;ndash;</code>) rather than a hyphen; e.g., "1–5" is correct, but "1-5" is not.

Generally, in paragraph text:
* Natural numbers less than ten should always be expressed in words (e.g. "one", "two", "three") unless suggested otherwise below.
* Otherwise, numbers that can be expressed as one or two words may be expressed either in words or in numerals (e.g. "ten" or "10", "twenty-one" or "21", "two hundred" or "200").
* Otherwise, numbers should be expressed in numerals or other widely used symbols (e.g. "123", "1,500,000", <math>\pi</math>).

Some exceptions to the above include:
* Numbers in compound words should be written in numerals (e.g. "3x3 area", "1-minute cooldown").
* When the context features multiple comparable numbers, the numbers should be written in numerals (e.g. "The duration of the buff is increased from 2 to 3 minutes").
