Do not remove zeros from parameters
[edit]@Schlurcher: Please do not remove zeros from parameters like here.
- Leading zeros can indicate data range and completeness of the number. If a two-digit or one-digit number is given instead of a three-digit number, it raises reasonable suspicion that there was an error in the transcription (loss of some digit) or that a different type of data was entered. James Bond is allways 007, never 7. Today's date is 2024-06-24, not 2024-6-24. Sticking to a standard number length can sometimes also make sense for sorting etc.
- Trailing zeros right of a decimal point by default indicate decimal precision (number of significant figures), e.g. in coordinates.
