Conversion

[edit]

I propose to reinstall this edit. First: this extra precision is not in the article. (And note the different notation in there, not using |sigfig=). There is not need or reason to change this between article and TFA-blurb. Second: per MOS:CONVERSIONS and Template:Convert longstanding wisdom, it is ill advised to suggest and present more precision than the original value has.

Given the different encodings of {{Convert}} between the two, other values used might need a same check & improvement. -DePiep (talk) 14:21, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't notice what the article was doing, sorry. Restored (using |0|, per the article). - Dank (push to talk) 17:08, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
