Fraction subtemplates

Convert/and/fra1

Edit request

{{editprotected}} Currently this only supports fractions down to eights, whereas measurements in inches down to /16 and /32 are common. This change converts it to use {{frac}}, and expands the range of values. This is needed, since the alternative is either the ugly red message or inappropriate rounding decisions. Change the values in the switch section to:

|3=1⁄32
|6=1⁄16
|9=3⁄32
|12=1⁄8
|15=5⁄32
|18=3⁄16
|21=7⁄32
|24=1⁄4
|27=9⁄32
|30=5⁄16
|32=1⁄3

Sounds like a reasonable idea. Has this been discussed anywhere? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:48, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Interesting. how common is this problem ? —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:02, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I see a proposal has been posted on Template talk:Convert. Let's wait and see if it gains support. But it sounds like a good idea to me. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:47, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

The biggest problem here is where is this used? Only in two-part input units, such as feet and inches? Is this where the change would need to be made? I'll explain further in the Template talk:Convert#Fractions discussion. Gene Nygaard (talk) 16:22, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Convert/and/chain

Talk-page for Template:Convert/and/chain.

Created

The numeric converter Template:Convert/and/chain was developed by the long-term user Jimp on 5 February 2008, to show the miles-and-chains units in numeric conversions that are calculated by the standard Template:Convert. -Wikid77 14:12, 4 February 2010

Needs Convert/{d}2, parentheses for fractions & u=ch

{{editprotected}} 04-Feb-09: The template must use {Convert/{{{d}}}2|...} to eventually allow deleting all redundant Convert subtemplates ending as "*Na2" ("na" indicates non-abbreviated, 2-units). Some subtemplates named *Na2 are missing, and should NOT be created. Also, parentheses are needed around {1} before the multiplication with *80, so that parameter1 can allow a fraction expression. Also, the unit symbols must be set by listing the parameters: U=mi and u=ch.

Lines 1-5 of the template should be the following 5 lines:
{{convert/{{{d}}}2|{{{1}}}|{{{3}}}|(( {{{1}}} )*80+{{{3}}})*20.1168|{{#ifeq:{{#expr:{{{5}}}*0}}|0|0|{{#if:{{{5|}}}|1|0}}}}|{{{5|}}}|{{{6|}}}|s={{{s|}}}|r={{{r}}}
|N=mile
|n=chain
|U=mi
|u=ch

A proposed version of the code is stored in Template:Convert/and/chain/sandbox.

The edit-summary could be:

fixed for fractions, bypassed *Na2 subtemplates, allowed unit symbols mi/ch.

When working properly, the current results, below, should be similar to the expected:

• Expected: {{Convert|4+1/2|mi|0|chain|km}}   gives:   4½ miles 0 chains (7 km)
• Currently: {{Convert|4+1/2|mi|0|chain|km}}   gives:   4+1⁄2 miles 0 chains (7.2 km)

• Expected: {{Convert|4|mi|3|chain|km}}   gives:   4 miles 3 chains (6.5 km)
• Currently: {{Convert|4|mi|3|chain|km}}   gives:   4 miles 3 chains (6.5 km)

• Expected: {{Convert|2|mi|1|chain|km|lk=in}}   gives:   2 miles 1 chain (3.2 km)
• Currently: {{Convert|2|mi|1|chain|km|lk=in}}   gives:   2 miles 1 chain (3.2 km)

• Expected: {{Convert|4|mi|3|chain|km|abbr=in}}   gives:   4 mi 3 ch (6.5 km)
• Currently: {{Convert|4|mi|3|chain|km|abbr=in}}   gives:   4 mi 3 chains (6.5 kilometres)

• Expected: {{Convert|4|mi|3|chain|km|abbr=none}}   gives:   4 miles 3 chains (6.5 kilometres)
• Currently: {{Convert|4|mi|3|chain|km|abbr=none}}   gives:   4 miles 3 chains (6.5 kilometres)

• Expected: {{Convert|7|mi|1|chain|km|disp=comma}}   gives:   7 miles 1 chain, 11.3 km
• Currently: {{Convert|7|mi|1|chain|km|disp=comma}}   gives:   7 miles 1 chain, 11.3 km

• Expected: {{Convert|23+7/8|mi|0|chain|km}}   gives:   23⁷/₈ miles 0 chains (38.42 km)
• Currently: {{Convert|23+7/8|mi|0|chain|km}}   gives:   23+7⁄8 miles 0 chains (38.4 km)

For each amount, the values of Expected & Currently should be similar. The correct calculation requires parentheses "( )" be used around parameter {1} when multiplying *80 to handle any fraction in the miles number, such as in "23+7/8" miles being 38.4 not 1.9 km. -Wikid77 14:12, 4 February 2010

Talk-page for Template:Convert/sroundT1.

Created

The rounding routine Template:Convert/sroundT1 was developed by the long-term user Jimp on 24 October 2007, to determine rounding of negative amounts by significant-digit counts (such as -26.547 rounded to -26.55 when 4 significant digits), as used by the standard Template:Convert for temperature conversions. -Wikid77 17:01, 14 February 2010

Magnitude depends on parameter 5

{{editprotected}}

IMPACT: The change below affects just 10 articles using Template:Convert for negative temperatures with sigfig=n, so it will trigger reformatting only those 10 articles. -Wikid77

14-Feb-09: The template must use parameter 5, {{{5}}}, for the order-of-magnitude calculation using {{ordomag}}, so that the rounding depends on the magnitude of {5}, not {2}; the proper coding should use parameter 5 with ordomag, as: {{ordomag|( {{{5}}} )}}.

Line 1 of the template should be the following text:
−{{formatnum:{{rnd|-{{{5}}}|({{{4}}}-{{ordomag|( {{{5}}} )}}-1)}}}}<noinclude>

When working properly, the current results, below, will match the expected:

• Currently: For {{Convert|-15|F|C|sigfig=5}}   gives:   −15 °F (−26.111 °C)

For each case, the amounts of Expected & Currently should match: with the same result for the same parameters. The correct calculation requires parameter 5 be used in {ordomag} for the order-of-magnitude calculation. -Wikid77 (talk) 17:01, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Density

Discussion at: Template_talk:Convert/density.

The standard measurement-converter Template:Convert, on the English Wikipedia, has several subtemplates to handle density conversions, such as for grams per cubic centimeter or pounds per cubic inch. Many of the subtemplates for density units are still being created, as discussed on the talk-page here.

Some of the density conversions are:

{{Convert/g/cm3}} {{Convert/g/dm3}} {{Convert/g/ml}} {{Convert/g/mL}}

{{Convert/kg/m3}} {{Convert/kg/dm3}} {{Convert/kg/L}} {{Convert/g/L}}

{{Convert/lb/cuyd}} {{Convert/lb/cuft}} {{Convert/lb/cuin}}

{{Convert/lb/USgal}} {{Convert/lb/U.S.gal}}

See: Category:Subtemplates of Template Convert (density)

Some examples of density conversions are:

{{convert|1|g/cm3|lb/cuin|8}}   gives:   1 gram per cubic centimetre (0.03612729 lb/cu in)

{{convert|5|g/cm3|lb/cuin}}     gives:   5 grams per cubic centimetre (0.18 lb/cu in)

{{convert|1|kg/L|lb/cuft|8}}   gives:   1 kilogram per litre (62.42796058 lb/cu ft)

{{convert|1|kg/m3|lb/cuft|8}}   gives:   1 kilogram per cubic metre (0.06242796 lb/cu ft)

{{convert|1|kg/m3|lb/cuyd}}   gives:   1 kilogram per cubic metre (1.7 lb/cu yd)

{{convert|36|kg/m3|lb/cuyd}}   gives:   36 kilograms per cubic metre (61 lb/cu yd)

{{convert|4|kg/L|lb/cuft}}   gives:   4 kilograms per litre (250 lb/cu ft)

Also look for discussions about density in the main talk-page, Template_talk:Convert.

This is the talk-page for density: Template:Convert/density.

Purpose

The subtemplate Template:Convert/density was created by long-term user Wikid77 on 23 February 2010, to focus issues about density conversions, as a separate discussion. Because the main talk-page for {{Convert}} covers so many topics, extensive details about any major topic tend to get scattered and eclipsed by all the other topics which clutter that main talk-page. By having a separate subpage as {{Convert/density}}, those issues can be condensed, as an overview there, and then discussed with that dedicated focus. -Wikid77 (talk) 12:03, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Basic conversions needed

The following issues were raised by User:Gene_Nygaard in February 2010, as recommendations for the most-commonly used:

• The most commonly used density units, by far, on Wikipedia aren't the one you have (kg/L), but rather the equivalent grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
• kilograms per cubic decimeter (kg/dm³)
• megagrams per cubic meter (Mg/m³)
• grams per milliliter (both g/ml and g/mL symbols, to allow consistency within a Wikipedia article)
• metric tons per cubic meter/tonnes per cubic metre (all of the others have national varieties of English issues to be dealt with too).

For g/cm³, a subtemplate was created as {{Convert/g/cm3}}. The other subtemplates for those units should be implemented as soon as possible, to expand the basic density conversions. A broader discussion can be found, below, under "#Created density units lb/USgal & kg/L". -Wikid77 12:14, 24 February 2010

Created density units lb/USgal & kg/L

20-Feb-2010: I have completed 2 new subtemplates for density, to handle pounds-per-US-gallon & kilograms-per-litre (kg/L):

• {{convert|5|lb/USgal}}   gives:   5 pounds per US gallon (0.60 kg/L)
• {{convert|8.4|lb/USgal}}   gives:   8.4 pounds per US gallon (1.01 kg/L)
• {{convert|2|kg/L}}   gives:   2 kilograms per litre (17 lb/US gal)
• {{convert|7|kg/L|sp=en}}   gives:   7 kilograms per litre (58 lb/US gal)
• {{convert|8|kg/L|sp=us}}   gives:   8 kilograms per liter (67 lb/US gal)

I don't know if those units have been discussed before, or how the imperial gallon should be handled, so I haven't used those conversions in any articles yet. -Wikid77 11:55, 20 February 2010

Now, after you "fixed" his [Jimp's] orphan, we have this ludicrous nonsense

18.355 pounds per US gallon (2.2 kg/m³) [ corrected 23-Feb-10 ]

18.355 pounds per US gallon (2,199.4 kg/m³) [ live result ]

18.355 pounds per US gallon (2.1994 kg/L)

That includes a default rounding problem in the first one, of course. We can change the second one to convert one place after the decimal point, too:

18.355 pounds per US gallon (2,199.4 kg/m³)

18.355 pounds per US gallon (2.2 kg/L)

So I guess now 1 m³ = 1 L, in the template:convert universe!

Why doesn't that surprise me?

But look what happens when we try to change the first one to have three places after the decimal point:

Specifying the rounding to three places after the decimal point gives us:

{{convert|18.355|lb/USgal|3|kg/m3}}→18.355 pounds per US gallon (2.199 kg/L)

{{convert|18.355|lb/USgal|3|kg/L}}→18.355 pounds per US gallon (2.199 kg/L)

Now, even though I asked for "kg/m3" in the first one, I still get "kg/L".

We can, of course, also get

1 pound per US gallon (201.97402597402 lb/cu yd)

1 pound per cubic yard (0.0049511316872428 lb/US gal)

Which

1. is off by a factor of 1,000; it implies that 0.20197318211872 U.S. gallon is a cubic yard. However, (36³ in³/yd³)/(231 in³/USgal)) = 46656/231 USgal/yd³ = 201.97402597402597402597402597403 USgal/yd³
   • actually off by a facor of 1000.004178+
2. has the problem of a missing space in the output "cu yd"

Gene Nygaard (talk) 01:26, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The good news is that most of the above problems are simple fixes. You've already fixed Jimp's problem of having the conversion factor for lb/USgal inverted from the correct-but-for-the-decimal-point one you have now. You could, like he did, divide both numerator and denominator by 77×10ⁿ to get his numbers (inverted), and could even take it to the logical step of getting it to a division of two integers so that their conversion to binary doesn't introduce errors before the division, but it won't matter—you already have more than twice as much precision as we'll ever need. I could fix the current problems myself, except one I haven't figured out yet. But like I told Huntster, I'm not going to start doing that until I see some evidence of a general commitment to fixing the numerous problems this ugly behemoth has now.

Now let's get into the bigger issues:

Look and feel problems

Contrast {{convert|5|l|USgal|abbr=on}}→5 L (1.3 US gal)

with {{convert|5|kg/l|lb/USgal|abbr=on}}→5 kg/l (42 lb/US gal)

Contrast {{convert|5|L|U.S.gal|abbr=on}}→5 L (1.3 U.S. gal)

with {{convert|5|kg/L|lb/U.S.gal|abbr=on}}→5 kg/L (42 lb/U.S. gal)

Contrast {{convert|5|km2|mi2|abbr=on}}→5 km² (1.9 sq mi)

and {{convert|5|km²|mi2|abbr=on}}→5 km² (1.9 sq mi)

with {{convert|5|km3|mi3|abbr=on}}→5 km³ (1.2 cu mi)

and {{convert|5|km³|mi3|abbr=on}}→5 km³ (1.2 cu mi)

with {{convert|5|kg/m3|lb/USgal|abbr=on}}→5 kg/m³ (0.042 lb/US gal)

and {{convert|5|kg/m³|lb/USgal|abbr=on}}→5 kg/m³ (0.042 lb/US gal)

and all the permutations of the above

Missing conversions—same size as kilograms per liter

There are numerous other units which are, in modern definitions (with 1 litre (1,000.00000 cm³) rather than the confusing situation when I first learned these units, back when that wasn't true), the same as kilograms per liter:

• The most commonly used density units, by far, on Wikipedia aren't the one you have (kg/L), but rather the equivalent grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
• kilograms per cubic decimeter (kg/dm³)
• megagrams per cubic meter (Mg/m³)
• grams per milliliter (both g/ml and g/mL symbols, to allow consistency within a Wikipedia article)
• metric tons per cubic meter/tonnes per cubic metre (all of the others have national varieties of English issues to be dealt with too).

Missing conversions—other metric units

• grams per liter (both g/L and g/l, same size as kg/m³, and like them common for gases)
• grams per cubic meter (g/m³) (most likely to be used with numbers in scientific or engineering notation)

Missing conversions—English units

• pounds per cubic foot (lb/ft³) (the most common English units in density; the ones we already have in convert, lb/yd³ improperly expressed as "lb/cuyd", are pretty much limited to the construction industry and civil engineering, for things such as density of gravel and aggregate).
• pounds per cubic inch (lb/in³, are used on Wikipedia, common in mechanical engineering for things such as steel)
• slugs per cubic foot (are used on Wikipedia; whether it is common enough to be included in this template is debatable)

but we don't need their equivalent in gravitational inch-pound force-second system (preferred system for NASA engineers, for example), pound-force seconds squared per inch to the fourth power (1 lbf·s²/in⁴ = 12⁴ slug/ft³ = 20,376 slug/ft³). Let's get over the notion that just because a conversion can be done, we should include it in this template.

• ounces per cubic inch (oz/in³)

Others to consider

• your already identified lb/imp gal
• metric tons per oil barrel
• degrees API (°API)
• millions of metric tons per teaspoon (just kidding; we do see strange things like this for density of neutron stars and the like, but don't need to be able to handle them in template:convert)
• perhaps conversions based on the 1901–1964 definition of the liter/litre (but not unless there is a specific showing that this would be useful on Wikipedia; that requires both measurements of density stemming from that time period, and densities measured precisely enough so that a one-part-in-35,000 difference in conversion factors would make a difference in the result)
• ounces per fluid ounce (either U.S. or imperial)
• pounds per Winchester bushel (note that Canada as well as the United States uses bulk density in these units as a quality factor in grading grains such as wheat and barley, even though the Winchester or U.S. bushel is slightly different from the imperial bushel); to open another can of worms, you will also see kilograms per hectolitre in this context.

Gene Nygaard (talk) 15:05, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

• Okay, thanks for listing all those details. I have reworked the kg/L as 1/1000 of kg/m3, see the subtopic below: #Redid density units lb/USgal & kg/L. -Wikid77 17:39, 23 February 2010

Redid density units lb/USgal & kg/L

23-Feb-2010: I have reworked some subtemplates for density, corrected by a factor of 1000x, to handle pounds-per-US-gallon & kilograms-per-litre (kg/L):

• {{convert|1000|kg/m3|kg/L}}   gives:   1,000 kilograms per cubic metre (1.0 kg/L)
• {{convert|5|lb/USgal}}   gives:   5 pounds per US gallon (0.60 kg/L)
• {{convert|8.4|lb/USgal}}   gives:   8.4 pounds per US gallon (1.01 kg/L)
• {{convert|2|kg/L}}   gives:   2 kilograms per litre (17 lb/US gal)
• {{convert|7|kg/L|sp=en}}   gives:   7 kilograms per litre (58 lb/US gal)
• {{convert|8|kg/L|sp=us}}   gives:   8 kilograms per liter (67 lb/US gal)
• where {{convert|1|kg|lb|9}}   gives:   1 kilogram (2.204622622 lb)

Converting to other units:

• {{convert|1|kg/L|g/cm3}}   gives:   1 kilogram per litre (1.0 g/cm³)
• {{convert|4|kg/L|g/cm3}}   gives:   4 kilograms per litre (4.0 g/cm³)

The correction was based on the calculation that all new Convert subtemplates for density should be normalized to 1 kg/m³ (has internal parameter b=1.0), so for kg/L then b=1000.0, and for lb/USgal then b=(453.592370380378 / 3.785411784).

I still haven't created density templates for the imperial gallon, so I haven't used those conversions in any articles yet. I apologize that it takes me 3 days to find time to rework these issues. -Wikid77 17:39, 23 February 2010

A hint for future reference: all conversions with this template should be normalized so that the quantity expressed in terms of the SI base units has a conversion factor of exactly one. Keep it simple; that's the way we've always done it here. Gene Nygaard (talk) 04:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Updates - new units

Is there any possibility of Gram per litre, mg/L and μg/dL or mcg/dL? Thanks. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 20:05, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

• Here is the status, including those densities:

{{convert|4|g/cm3}} → 4 grams per cubic centimetre (0.14 lb/cu in)

{{convert|4|kg/dm3}} → 4 kilograms per cubic decimetre (250 lb/cu ft)

{{convert|4|Mg/m3}} → 4 megagrams per cubic metre (250 lb/cu ft)

{{convert|4|g/ml}} → 4 grams per millilitre (0.14 lb/cu in)

{{convert|4|g/mL}} → 4 grams per millilitre (0.14 lb/cu in)

{{convert|4|g/L}} → 4 grams per litre (0.00014 lb/cu in)

{{convert|4|mg/L}} → 4 milligrams per litre (1.4×10⁻⁷ lb/cu in)

{{convert|4|mcg/dL}} → 4 micrograms per decilitre (1.4×10⁻⁹ lb/cu in)

Any missing unit-codes are denoted by red template names. -Wikid77 15:18, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

In all cases, when referring to United States Steel as U. S. Steel, U. S. Steel should be spelled with a space after each period. That's, U period space S period space Steel. This may seem strange but it is an important part of our corporate identity and is one of the legal ways to refer to the company.

I edited parts of the page that were open for edit but the titles, etc. in the template are locked.

Thank you for considering this request.

I'm not clear why you need this template altered to achieve what you want to do - as far as I can see its only use of the letters "US" is in specifying US units or US spelling in some parameters. More on your talk page. JohnCD (talk) 21:50, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

The temperature-range converter Template:Convert/Dual/LoffAonDbSoffT was developed by the long-term user Jimp on 5 July 2007 and revised 12 August 2008, to show the results for temperature-range conversions that are calculated by the standard Template:Convert. -Wikid77 22:48, 5 March 2010

Redirect to combined subtemplate

{{editprotected}} 05-March-10: The template page should be changed to a simple redirect to the common, shared subtemplate Template:Convert/Dual/LoffAoffDxSoffT, which handles multiple options for all temperature-range conversions, as a single combined subtemplate; the proper coding should have: #REDIRECT.

Line 1 of the template should be the following text:
#REDIRECT [[Template:Convert/Dual/LoffAoffDxSoffT]]<noinclude>

When working properly, the current results, below, will match the expected:

• Expected: {{Convert|6|to|7|C|F|abbr=on}}   gives:   6 to 7 °C (43 to 45 °F)
• Currently: {{Convert|6|to|7|C|F|abbr=on}}   gives:   6 to 7 °C (43 to 45 °F)

• Expected: {{Convert|-6|and|3|C|F|abbr=on}}   gives:   −6 and 3 °C (21 and 37 °F)
• Currently: {{Convert|-6|and|3|C|F|abbr=on}}   gives:   −6 and 3 °C (21 and 37 °F)

• Expected: {{Convert|4+1/2|to|5+3/4|C|F|abbr=on}}   gives:   4+1⁄2 to 5+3⁄4 °C (40.1 to 42.3 °F)
• Currently: {{Convert|4+1/2|to|5+3/4|C|F|abbr=on}}   gives:   4+1⁄2 to 5+3⁄4 °C (40.1 to 42.3 °F)

For each case, the amounts of Expected & Currently should match. The old coding inside the subtemplate was never debugged to work correctly, and now it can be handled as a REDIRECT to the combined subtemplate, which handles any option. -Wikid77 22:48, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Convert/LoffAoffDbSmid

This is the talk-page for: Template:Convert/LoffAoffDbSmid.

Created

The mid-text-display routine Template:Convert/LoffAoffDbSmid was created by long-term user Wikid77 on 30 March 2010, to display adjective phrases (or other mid-text) between the input and output units in some conversions handled by Template:Convert -Wikid77 (talk) 11:29, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Usage

30-March-2010: In February 2010, we had discussed the issue of inserting mid-text, after the input units, so I have implemented new option "adj=mid" to insert mid-text (parameter 4) between the input and output. The mid-text can be multiple words and can contain hyphens (or spaces):

• {{convert|340|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}}         →   340-metre-high (1,120 ft)
• {{convert|340|m|ft|adj=mid|-high cone}} →   340-metre-high cone (1,120 ft)
• {{convert|43|km|mi|adj=mid|-wide}}     →   43-kilometre-wide (27 mi)
• {{convert|6|ft|m|adj=mid|-radius circle}}     →   6-foot-radius circle (1.8 m)

The output unit must be specified. Sorry this option took so long to add, but template Convert is so complex, it's a mind-fry to connect all these options and predict their impact. Bear in mind that this mid-text insertion will seem like magic to many users, because there is no limit to the text inserted, which could be other conversions inside conversions:

• they climbed a {{convert|3200|ft|m|adj=mid|-high slope up the mountain}}.
                                →  they climbed a 3,200-foot-high slope up the mountain (980 m).
• {{convert|4|royal cubit|m|adj=mid|-square [[Egyptian pyramid]]}}
                                      →   4-royal-cubit-square Egyptian pyramid (2.1 m)
• {{convert|4|royal cubit|m|adj=mid|-square [[Egyptian pyramid]], width {{convert|2|m|ft|disp=output only}} }}
                                      →   4-royal-cubit-square Egyptian pyramid, width 6.6 ft (2.1 m)

Although option "adj=mid" was designed for adjective phrases, it can be used without hyphens, by using unit symbols (abbr=on or abbr=in), so that many conversions can have mid-text inserted. Many idioms flow much better if the converted amount is shown afterward, as an afterthought following the phrase:

• He took a {{convert|2|L|USGAL|adj=mid|bottle}}   → He took a 2-litre bottle (0.53 US gal).

• The log is {{convert|7|ft|m|adj=mid|too long|abbr=on}} →   The log is 7 ft too long (2.1 m).

Please update any articles affected. -Wikid77 12:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Convert/LonAonDbSon

Created

The conversion-subtemplate Template:Convert/LonAonDbSon was created by long-term user Jimp on 15 October 2007 to support output formatting for the standard Template:Convert. This template sets the format for the numbers to show the units wikilinked, abbreviated, and hyphenated for singular-mode display. -Wikid77 (talk) 19:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

For hyphen after parameter 1

{{editprotect}} The first line of the template needs to be changed to put a connecting hyphen ("-") after the first instance of parameter 1 as "{{{1}}}-". The template's name suffix "Son" means "singular is on" to indicate hyphenation will be displayed. Compare to the similar Template:Convert/LonAoffDbSon, which also has a hyphen ("-") after parameter-1 because it also displays for singular-mode "Son". -Wikid77 (talk) 20:09, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 10:40, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

{{editprotect}} Please undo the above edit. Wikid77 is correct in that "Son" means "singular on". What he's missed is that "Aon" means "abbreviation on". Per WP:HYPHEN (which Wikid77 might have had the chance to read) hyphens are not used with abbreviations. JIMp _talk·cont 12:18, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Done. I agree and have undone, because I'm sure the hyphenated version was creating instances like "30-ha" at University of Surrey#Campus which just looks wrong. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:44, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Convert/LonAonDtablecenSoff

This is the talk-page for: Template:Convert/LonAonDtablecenSoff.

Created

The conversion-subtemplate Template:Convert/LonAonDtablecenSoff was created by long-term user MJCdetroit on 12 November 2008 to support output formatting for the standard Template:Convert. This template sets the format for the numbers, as table entries, and shows the units as wikilinked, abbreviated, and not hyphenated but for plural-mode display. -Wikid77 21:51, 15 October 2009

Invokes output-template by d=tAbLe

{{editprotect}} The end of the text should use "d=tAbLe" "d=tablecen" in lowercase (not "d=tAbLecen"). Because Wikipedia names are case-sensitive, a name cannot be matched when mixing upper/lowercase letters. See similar Template:Convert/LoffAoffDtablecenSoff for use of the "d=tablecen" option. -Wikid77 (talk) 21:51, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi
This seems to be intentional though: The creator of this template explicitly changed it in that way, here, and respective pages or redirects exist, for example at Template:Convert/tAbLe. I don't have the insight into the conversion template to know what all of this is supposed to be doing, exactly. Do you know that the usage here is wrong? Should we ask User:MJCdetroit?
Amalthea 09:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• Okay, I see that you have the correct idea: use "d=tAbLe" to also show the unit (not just the number). A similar display is done for "disp=table" (rather than "disp=tablecen") as noted in the documentation:

From Template:Convert/doc: "attach |disp=table Note: For use in tables the template must start on a new line after a pipe. Only the number will be displayed unless you set |abbr=on, |lk=on, |lk=in or |lk=out."

Currently, the value "d=tAbLecen" gives a fatal error, so for testing the before-and-after results, use Template:Convert as follows:

{{Convert|12|m|ft|disp=tablecen|lk=on|abbr=on}}:
style="text-align:center;"|12 m

|style="text-align:center;"|39 ft

The missing "Template:Convert/tAbLecen" will be handled as "Template:Convert/tAbLe" so the output will end with a number+unit as "39 ft" rather than just 39. The reason this problem has existed is due to Template:Convert having 2,440 subtemplates which no one has time to all fix, as a volunteer effort. -Wikid77 (talk) 16:11, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Alright, changed it that way. Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea 18:34, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Convert/LonAoffSoffAnd

This is the talk-page for: Template:Convert/LonAoffSoffAnd.

Created

The conversion-display Template:Convert/LonAoffSoffAnd was created (but never finished) by long-term user Jimp during January 12-15, 2008, as a subtemplate of Template:Convert during the initial 8-month development of Template:Convert. It is used for conversions with output unit "ftin" when lk=on, abbr=none, and adj=off. -Wikid77 09:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Unprotect to fix bugs

{{editprotect}} 12-Nov-2009: Because the template was never finished and is rarely used (in 2 talk-pages), it should be unprotected to enable editing for bug-fixes. Currently, there are 2 known problems (incorrect plural as "inch" rather than "inches", and no "inch" label when 1 inch is the result):

• Expected: {{convert|1.5|m|ftin|abbr=none|lk=on}}      gives: 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches)
  Currently: {{convert|1.5|m|ftin|abbr=none|lk=on}}      gives: 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches) ←"inches"

• Expected: {{convert|1.24|m|ftin|abbr=none|lk=on}}     gives: 1.24 metres (4 feet 1 inch)
  Currently: {{convert|1.24|m|ftin|abbr=none|lk=on}}     gives: 1.24 metres (4 feet 1 inch) ←"1 inch"

• Expected: {{convert|0.95|m|ftin|abbr=none|lk=on}}     gives: 0.95 metres (3 feet 1 inch)
  Currently: {{convert|0.95|m|ftin|abbr=none|lk=on}}     gives: 0.95 metres (3 feet 1 inch)

All coding in Template:Convert/valout/LonAoffSoffAnd should be used instead (copied to replace the template contents) to correct those problems, to make the "Expected" & "Currently" the same. There is no hurry on this fix because of the rare usage. -Wikid77 (talk) 09:24, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Updates

Usage

To request an update to a protected subtemplate of the measurement-converter Template:Convert, create a new topic below (under new header "===Topic===") and describe the changes needed, plus some test-case examples which show the before-and-after results ("Expected" & "Currently"). Once the topic has been thoroughly proofread for the exact changes needed to a subtemplate, then tag that topic by inserting "{{editprotected}}" at the start of the topic, so that this talk-page will be listed in the admins' update category.

If there are multiple subtemplates which all need to be changed, then consider defining several level-3 subtopics (as "====Subtopic====") with each title having the 3 equals-signs "====" and describing separate edit-requests. It might be easier to copy some prior update-requests and change the details to create a new edit-request in a usable format.

To check for status, re-read this talk-page to see if an admin had to reject the edit-request due to coding problems. Again, it is possible to list multiple subtemplates for update, below, but also consider listing multiple test-cases so that the admins can check that the update was applied correctly. The admins can then view an edit-preview of each topic below to compare the test-case examples after the update has been applied. -Wikid77 (talk) 16:53, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Fix Template:Convert/LoffAoffDsSoff for fractions

• Currently: {{Convert|4+1/2|in|mm|abbr=on}}   gives:   4+1⁄2 in (110 mm)

• Expected: {{Convert|4+1/2|in|mm|abbr=off|disp=/}}   gives:   4¹⁄₂ inches / 110 mm

• Currently: {{Convert|23+7/8|in|mm|abbr=off|disp=/}}  gives:   23+7⁄8 inches (610 millimetres)

For each fraction, the amounts of Expected & Currently should match. The correct calculation requires parentheses "( )" be used around parameter {1} to handle any fraction in the input number, such as in "23+7/8". -Wikid77 (talk) 16:58, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Fix Template:Convert/LoffAoffDbSoffTs fraction temperatures

{{editprotected}} 08-March-10: Converter Template:Convert/LoffAoffDbSoffTs must use convert/numdisp to show fraction temperatures, and use {#expr:...} around {1} so that parameter1 can allow a fraction expression; the proper coding should have: {{#expr:{{{1|0}}} }}. IMPACT: no articles use temperature fractions yet.

Line 1 of the template should be the following copy/paste text:
{{convert/numdisp|{{{1|2+1/2}}} }}&nbsp;{{{u}}} ({{convert/{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{o}}}|{{{3}}}}}|{{#expr:{{{1|0}}} }}|{{{b}}}|{{#if:{{{2|}}}|{{{3|}}}|{{{4|}}}}}|{{{s|}}}|d=Loff}})<noinclude>

When working properly, the current results, below, will match the expected:

• Expected: {{Convert|3+1/4|C|F|disp=b}}   gives:   3¹⁄₄ °C (37.85 °F)
• Currently: {{Convert|3+1/4|C|F|disp=b}}   gives:   3+1⁄4 °C (37.8 °F)

• Expected: {{Convert|27+1/8|C|F|disp=b}}   gives:   27¹⁄₈ °C (80.825 °F)
• Currently: {{Convert|27+1/8|C|F|disp=b}}   gives:   27+1⁄8 °C (80.8 °F)

• Expected: {{Convert|27+1/8|C|F|disp=or}}   gives:   27¹⁄₈ °C or 80.825 °F
• Currently: {{Convert|27+1/8|C|F|disp=or}}   gives:   27+1⁄8 °C or 80.8 °F

Some similar temperature-converters which already work:

• Template:Convert/LoffAoffDorSoffTs - fractions with "or"
• Template:Convert/LoffAoffDcommaSoffTs - fractions with comma ","

For each fraction, amounts Expected/Currently should match. -Wikid77 13:08, 8 March 2010

Reverted: This broke the template. For these {{{1}}} is not a number but a string of the form "10s", "20s", etc. The rest of these should also be fixed but it's no priority since they're not in use ... on the other hand, you wouldn't expect them to be in use if they're broken.

Change Template:Convert/ft for better precision

{{editprotected}} 09-March-10: Converter Template:Convert/ft must set default precision 1-digit higher, as j=-0, for whole numbers (& integers); the proper coding should have an if-expression which involves setting: j=-0-{{{j|0}}}.

Fix Template:Convert/lbfft for unit order in output with symbols

{{editprotected|Template:Convert/lbfft}}Template:Convert/lbfft has the correct unit order with the spelled-out unit names, but the wrong order when symbols are used for the units.

Unit order is important. For energy, feet are normally first. If the original units, they will be in that order before convert is used, and we have {{Convert/ftlbf}} to handle that unit order. That will also get feet-first as output units. But for torque, while ft·lbf are used by many, there are many others put the pounds-force first. They are not only first when spelled out, but also in the unit symbols. There is an error in specifying the symbol in the Convert/lbfft subtemplate, which has the wrong order in the symbolic form. Users expect the unit order to match what they put into the template; it does when the words are spelled out, but not when unit symbols are used.

Line 2 of the template should replace "u=ft·lbf" the following copy/paste text:
u=lbf·ft

Template:Convert/lbfft also has redirects from Template:Convert/lbf.ft and Template:Convert/lbf·ft

When working properly, the current results, below, will match the expected:

• Expected: {{Convert|320|lbfft|Nm}}   gives: 320 pound force-feet (430 N·m)
• Currently: {{Convert|320|lbfft|Nm}}   gives: 320 pound force-feet (430 N⋅m) [unit order is as expected when units using Convert/lbfft are spelled out]

• Expected: {{Convert|320|lbfft|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 lbf·ft (430 N·m)
• Currently: {{Convert|320|lbfft|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 lbf⋅ft (430 N⋅m)

• Expected: {{Convert|320|lbf.ft|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 lbf·ft (430 N·m)
• Currently: {{Convert|320|lbf.ft|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 lbf⋅ft (430 N⋅m)

• Expected: {{Convert|320|lbf·ft|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 lbf·ft (430 N·m)
• Currently: {{Convert|320|lbf·ft|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 lbf⋅ft (430 N⋅m)

• Expected: {{Convert|430|Nm|lbfft|abbr=on}}   gives: 430 N·m (320 lbf·ft)
• Currently: {{Convert|430|Nm|lbfft|abbr=on}}   gives: 430 N⋅m (320 lbf⋅ft)

• Expected: {{Convert|430|Nm|lbfft}}   gives: 430 newton metres (320 lbf·ft)
• Currently: {{Convert|430|Nm|lbfft}}   gives: 430 newton-metres (320 lbf⋅ft)

We will also still have these using the other subtemplate Convert/ftlbf which already give the units in the expected order with feet first:

• Expected: {{Convert|320|ftlbf|J|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 ft·lbf (430 J)
• Currently: {{Convert|320|ftlbf|J|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 ft⋅lbf (430 J)

• Expected: {{Convert|320|ftlbf|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 ft·lbf (430 N·m)
• Currently: {{Convert|320|ftlbf|Nm|abbr=on}}   gives: 320 ft⋅lbf (430 N⋅m)
