(This bug happened only after the recent changes in the notifications system.)
There are two [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals#Numerals | numeral systems]]:
# [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals | Western Arabic Numerals]]
# [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Arabic_numerals | Eastern Arabic Numerals]]
* When using Arabic (ar) as a content language, MediaWiki uses Eastern Arabic numerals as the number system by default.
* However, Arabic Wikipedia (arwiki) overrides this and uses Western Arabic numerals.
* After the recent upgrade of the notifications system, the numbers in the drop down menu are rendered using Eastern Arabic numerals.
Request:
* Numbers in the notification drop down menu should be rendered using Western Arabic numerals on Arabic Wikipedia to be consistent with the numbering system on the wiki.
Note:
* The numbers on the local [[https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%B5:%D8%A5%D8%B4%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA | Special:Notifications]] are correctly rendered using the Western Arabic numerals. So, the problem is in the drop down menu only.
