Edit request on 30 September 2013

I am requesting that this template be updated to allow the option of using a non-breaking space between the number and the text (in place of the current breaking space). The updated code can be found in Template:Plural/sandbox. The following shows an example of how it would work (the output was placed inside a narrow <div> to force a line break).

Example	Current output	Sandbox output
Non-breaking space: {{plural|20|year|nb=y}}	20 years	20 years
Breaking space (default): {{plural|20|year}}	20 years	20 years

Additional examples can be found at Template:Plural/testcases. -- Zyxw (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Done Except I used {{yesno}} so {{plural|20|year|nb=no}} will do what the user probably expects. Anomie⚔ 02:06, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response and also for adding nb=no to the test cases. -- Zyxw (talk) 04:03, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
