There are more parser functions here than I can handle. Can someone fix such that it says "1 day" instead of "1 days"? sterilesporadic heavy hitter 20:38, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

I'd write inflectors using the {{#switch:}} template but I'm going to be drunk for the next 10 days and I'm already working on something for the RWF. If it makes you feel any better, not even WP has what you're looking for. Their fancy ass new DateCountDown template is as hideous as ours, which looks identical to the old WM countdown template, just more sophisticated Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 13:25, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
There probably is a way to do it. I spent lots of time on parser fuctions on RW in the '07. It's just the patience to do it. It also would have to take less than 1 days, otherwise who would finish it? sterilesporadic heavy hitter 13:35, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
I agree. It's not the biggest deals in the world. How hard could it be to parse the equivalent of "days" unless X > 1? Nutty Roux100x100 anarchy symbol.svg 13:48, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
