Description:
For Slovenian Wikipedia and other Slovenian wikiprojects it would be very useful if
the software allowed for:

Entering up to five sentence forms functionally linked (as parameters of a magic
word) with different numbers displayed by a chosen variable (or any "$n") that
generates a number.

Description of the system with an example:

In the Mediawiki:Sitestatstext message (or on any other page) the following sentence
forms would be entered for the variable NUMBEROFFILES:

• one form for the number 0
• one form for the number 1
• one form for the number 2
• one form for the number 3
• one form for the number 4
• one form for the number 5; this form would be used also for any other higher number

up to and including 100

• Then the cycle should start anew - repeat itself from the second form = the one

used for number 1 - onwards. The form for number 0 should be used only once: for
number 0.

I imagine these sentence forms and the chosen variable would be entered as parameters
of a magic word (like 'plural' or something) and then displayed accordingly to the
autogenerated number they are linked with and the rules described above. The solution
should also allow entering less than five forms as they are not always different.

Reason:

Slovenian language has three grammmatical numbers (singular, dual, plural) and six
grammatical cases. These are obligatory for nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives. See
