Strip leading 0s

This template should be updated to strip leading 0s. HKSE tickers are often reported in the English media with leading zeros (to 4 digits), but the stock exchange URL doesn't support it. --Voidvector (talk) 00:02, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. @Voidvector: I have edited the code to implement Module:Leading zeros, a Lua module, to remove the leading zeros from the inputted value, and shows "Incorrect" to notify editors if they have inputted a non-numeric value. Cheers. –Wefk423 (talk) 19:30, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
