Description

The comments_number function (located in wp-includes/comment-functions.php) allows for a fourth parameter, $number, to be set by the user (this functionality is also described in the Codex: ​http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/comments_number). However, in the body of the function the value of $number is overwritten, regardless of whether it has been set by the user or not.

Hmm I'm not sure if this is the correct behaviour or not.

The codex entry is unclear as to the purpose of the parameter and whether or not it is meant to be an in parameter or a return value.

I think Pyrmont expects to be able to call it with a number and get a link displayed based on that.

Marking for dev-feedback - Ryan / Matt please let us known what you think.

I'll then write up a patch and update the codex docs.

I believe the fourth parameter is deprecated, as I can't think of any use for it...
