Comment:

 The %s replacement specifier is used for number formatting purposes. The
 value passed in is not necessarily an integer. This is especially
 important with localisation, where the translation could be a word, a
 number with formatting, or a non-Latin numeral.

 As an example (albeit an unlikely one), you could delete 1,000 pages and
 the number would show up as `1000` with your patch rather than `1,000`.
