User:Wikid77/Template:Gconvert
| This template is being used to diagnose rounding tactics to improve the performance of Template:Convert. Do not delete this template without a legal AfD process, discussed to reach consensus. |
| The Template:Gconvert is a variation of Template:Convert, intended for general-purpose conversions, where the amount being converted is exactly specified, rather than being a possible estimate. To round the results to another level, append a parameter "-2" or "2" (etc.) when using Gconvert. |
Usage
[edit]- {{Gconvert|<num>|<unit>|<newunit>}}
- {{Gconvert|<num>|<unit>|<newunit>|2}} - show 2 decimals
- {{Gconvert|<num>|<unit>|<newunit>|-2}} - round hundreds
- {{Gconvert|<n>|<unit1>|<n2>|<unit2>|<newunit>}} - round hundreds
The parameters are identical to Template:Convert. The options include: abbr=off, sp=us, disp=/, disp=or, adj=on (explained below).
Parameters
[edit]The following are the parameters handled by Template:Gconvert:
- Parameter 1 is amount to convert, can contain commas.
- abbr=off - turns off abbreviation, shows "meters" or "feet" (default: abbr=on).
- sp=us - triggers U.S. spelling, shows "meters" else "metres" (default: sp=en).
- disp=/ - displays slash between numbers (default: disp=b).
- disp=or - displays "or" between numbers (default: parentheses).
- adj=on - turns on adjective-mode, shows "-m" (default: adj=off).
Those parameters are the same as in template {{Convert}}.
