I had to undo a recent change (see above) since it was resulting in several templates breaking; specifically, the rat module was taking a very long time to calculate these large ratios and resulting in the interpreter terminating with signal 24. If these changes are necessary, might I suggest hardcoding them instead? Ganaram inukshuk (talk) 01:15, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

I just did that change to ensure that the irrational numbers are fully accurate, so it's not necessary. I've put it down to 6 decimal digits now.

Those aren't significantly more accurate than before. For pi its accuracy is actually worse. Definitely not worth the load time. Hardcoding is the way. FloraC (talk) 06:29, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
