{{Lua|Module:Spellnum per MOS}}
{{substitution| |unless the argument is dynamic (i.e., generated by another template or module that cannot be substituted)}}

Converts numerals to words if appropriate per the style guide '''[[MOS:NUMERAL]]'''. The first unnamed parameter is the numeral to be evaluated. All optional parameters of {{tl|number to word}} are accepted by this template.

Editors using this template are responsible for checking its output against the detailed guidance of [[MOS:NUMERAL]].

==Behavior==
* Non-integers and values less than zero are given in numerals (e.g. 0.5, -3).
* Integers from zero to nine are spelled out in words (e.g. five).
* For integers greater than or equal to ten:
** By default, numbers expressible in one or two words are spelled out (e.g. fifty-six), and numbers requiring three or more words are given as numerals (e.g. 310).
** If the argument "forcenum" is given with a value of "true" (or equivalent per [[:Template:Yesno]]), integers greater than or equal to ten are always expressed as a numeral.
* Numbers greater than one million are rounded to at most two significant figures
