Hindi dates not appearing in infoboxes when fetched from wikidata
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

When we fetch dates (suppose 11 July 2017) from Wikidata into Hindi Wikipedia for Infoboxes (example Infobox person) using Module:Wikidata or Module:WikidataIB, it should appear like "११ जुलाई २०१७". However it appears like "11 जुलाई 2017".

As you can see only month is appearing in Hindi. Numbers in date and year should also be of Devanagari script.

Dates are being pulled for birth dates, death dates, establishment dates, disestablishment dates, etc.

Hi @Capankajsmilyo, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Unfortunately this report lacks some information. If you have time and can still reproduce the problem: Please add a more complete description to this report (a list of steps to reproduce which leave no room for interpretation what to do, describing actual results and expected results after performing the steps to reproduce, attaching or linking to a public testcase).
You can edit the task description by clicking Edit Task.
Ideally, exact and clear steps to reproduce should allow any other person to follow these steps (without having to interpret those steps) and see the same results. Problems that others can reliably reproduce can get fixed faster. Thanks!

@Capankajsmilyo This is because of T31279. So make the Devanagari Digit default is Complex and needs strong community consensus. You can see ongoing Diss (T160423).
