::Raw does <u>not</u> currently work on Wikia sites (it returns an unrecognised expression error message).  And on non-Western language MediaWikis, raw does not always render numeric values in western digits - I end up looking up the data on the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias#All_Wikipedias_ordered_by_number_of_articles meta table].  So my own personal experience is that raw is actually a detriment to the current template, and is currently serving no purpose!  [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 01:57, 21 June 2011 (PDT)

::: The use of the ''raw'' version was only a suggestion and is not planned to be integrated here (as far as I know). So it can be decided on a case by case basis. Best --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 02:13, 21 June 2011 (PDT)

::::It definately ''had'' been implemented . . . on most of the Wikia sites, where the 'long-hand' size template was used (rather than the shorthand templates which are used on most Wikipedia/Wiktionary etc), the raw was used in the long URL entry.  I've had to correct loads of these.  And as for the Wikipedia/Wiktionary etc short-code templates, it seems to have been implemented into these too - though these don't seem to be causing a problem.  Back to where raw has been used on the Wikia entries, it isn't a problem for experienced wiki editors to correct this, but for the causal wiki reader (like: ''what happens when I click here'') - an error message doesn't look very good nor very professional - so we should both refrain from using raw on Wikia entries, and correct any existing Wikia entries which use it.  Rgds, [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 04:22, 21 June 2011 (PDT)
