If you want the same setup as I have, you will need the Count Pages plugin which puts the word count into a custom column usually called #words (instructions are in the linked thread). Then in the Kobo touch extended driver configuration, go to "Metadata, on device & advanced", tick "Subtitle", and paste the following into the template editor:

Spoiler:

program:

int_words = raw_field('#words');

# return wordcount in terms of million, e.g. 1m, 1.2m etc
if int_words ># 995000 then
int_words2 = divide(int_words,1000000);
str_words = strcat(format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.1f}'), '');
if '0' in str_words then
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.0f}')
else
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.1f}')
fi;
word_count = strcat(sf_words, 'm')
# wordcount in terms of thousands, e.g. 120k, 230k etc
elif int_words ># 10000 then
int_words2 = divide(int_words,10000);
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.0f}');
word_count = strcat(sf_words, '0k')
elif int_words ># 1 then
int_words2 = divide(int_words,1000);
sf_words = format_number(int_words2, '{0: 2.0f}');
word_count = strcat(sf_words, 'k')
fi;

subtitle = strcat(field('#genre'), ' |', word_count, ' words')

Note that I have a separate genre column that I use, but you could also use tags - just replace field('#genre') with field('tags') (without the # symbol). You can put any column info that you like! The Calibre template language is quite powerful.

I tried using your settings and this is what i got:

Plugboard Template error

Now I can't remove the error displaying

Edit: Got it working now.
