Units of measurement usage on Wikivoyage

Format and conventions used for units can be found at Wikivoyage:Measurements.

To ensure units are displayed correctly, the simplified individual template should be used.

The Convert template can be used in cases where standard format is not optimum.

Convert template usage

Template {{Wy/si/convert}} calculates measurements from one unit (you can enter) to another one, and then presents the results. For example:

{{Wy/si/Convert|2|km|mi}} → 2 kilometres (1.2 mi)

{{Wy/si/Convert|7|mi|km}} → 7 miles (11 km)

Multiple formatting and calculation options are listed below.

Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): 1 pound or 1 lb?

By default, the first value shows unit name, the second the symbols (= abbreviation). Use Template:Para to change this behaviour:

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|lb|kg}} → 1 pound (0.45 kg) (To compare; default: first value shows unit name)

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}} → 1 pound (0.45 kilograms)

• Template:Para toggles the default behaviour (Template:Para):

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} → 1 lb (0.45 kilograms)

Adjective: a 10-mile distance

Use Template:Para to produce the adjective form. The difference:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|mi|km}} to go → 10 miles (16 km) to go. (To compare, default)

A {{Wy/si/Convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance → A 10-mile (16 km) distance. (Adjective form)

Rounding: 100 ft is 30 m or 30.5 m or 30.48 m?

In detail, it is 100 feet (30,480 mm). In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.

Default rounding

By default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant figures, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is rounding temperatures (see below).

Examples of rounding
Input	Displays as	Note
{{Wy/si/Convert|123|ft|m|-1}}	123 feet (40 m)
{{Wy/si/Convert|123|ft|m|0}}	123 feet (37 m)
{{Wy/si/Convert|123|ft|m|1}}	123 feet (37.5 m)
{{Wy/si/Convert|550|ft|m|0}}	550 feet (168 m)	Approximate value is 167.64 m
{{Wy/si/Convert|550|ft|m}}	550 feet (170 m)	Rounds to 170, when approximate value is 167.64 m
{{Wy/si/Convert|500|ft|m|0}}	500 feet (152 m)	Approximate value is 152.4 m
{{Wy/si/Convert|500|ft|m}}	500 feet (150 m)	Rounds to 150, when approximate value is 152.4 m

Convert supports four types of rounding:

Round to a given precision: use Template:Para

Specify the desired precision with the fourth unnamed parameter (or third unnamed parameter if the "convert to" parameter is omitted; or fifth unnamed parameter if a range is specified; or fourth unnamed parameter again if a range is specified and the "convert to" parameter is omitted; needs to be replaced with a "precision" named parameter). The conversion is rounded off to the nearest power of 1/10 this number. For instance, if the result is 8621 and the round number is "-2", the result will be 8600. If the result is "234.0283043" and the round number is "0", the result will be 234.

Round to a given number of significant figures: use Template:Para

To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use Template:Para:

• To compare: {{Wy/si/Convert|1200|ft|m}} → 1,200 feet (370 m)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} → 1,200 feet (365.8 m)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} → 1,200 feet (366 m)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} → 1,200 feet (370 m)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} → 1,200 feet (400 m)

Setting Template:Para is meaningless

• {{Wy/si/Convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → 1,200 feet (370 m)

Round to a multiple of 5: 15, 20, 25, ...

Using Template:Para rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 metres (33 ft)

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|round=5}} → 10 metres (35 ft)

Similar: using Template:Para rounds the outcome to a multiple of 25.

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 metres (33 ft)

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|round=25}} → 10 metres (25 ft)

To compare: {{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}} → 10 metres (32.81 ft)

In a range, one can round each value individually to the default. Use Template:Para:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}} → 10 by 200 by 3,000 metres (33 ft × 656 ft × 9,843 ft)

{{Wy/si/Convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}} → 10 by 200 by 3,000 metres (33 ft × 660 ft × 9,800 ft)

Round to a multiple of a given fraction: 2 3/16 inch

Specify the desired denominator using Template:Para. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in 1/3).

{{Wy/si/Convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}} → 5.56 centimetres (2 ³⁄₁₆ in)

{{Wy/si/Convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}} → 8 centimetres (3 ¹⁄₄ in)

The fraction is reduced when possible:

{{Wy/si/Convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}} → 8 centimetres (3 ³⁄₂₀ in)

{{Wy/si/Convert|8|cm|in}} → 8 centimetres (3.150 in) (To compare)

Template:AnchorRounding the temperatures °C, °F and K

In temperatures, the conversion will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value or to that which would give three significant figures when expressed in kelvins, whichever is more precise.

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|C|F K}} → 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)

Note

For a temperature difference, like to convert "A rise of 20 °C", use Template:Para &tc.

{{Wy/si/Convert|20|C-change|F-change K-change}} → A rise of 20 °C (36 °F; 20 K)

To compare: "A temperature of 20 °C" would yield: A temperature of 20 °C (68 °F; 293 K)

Into multiple units: 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)

Separate the multiple output units by a space:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|C|F K}} → 10 °C (50 °F; 283 K)

{{Wy/si/Convert|5|km|mi nmi}} → 5 kilometres (3.1 mi; 2.7 nmi)

Ranges of values

A range: 6 to 17 kg (13 to 37 lb)

Range indicators are entered as the second parameter (between the values). Range separators can be:
Template:Convert/doc/range separator list

Multiple dimensions: 6 m × 12 m (20 ft × 39 ft)

Use "by"

{{Wy/si/Convert|6|by|12|ft|m}} → 6 by 12 feet (1.8 by 3.7 m)

Use "×" or ""x""

{{Wy/si/Convert|6|x|12|m|ft}} → 6 by 12 metres (20 ft × 39 ft)

In science, the formal way is to set |x| and Template:Para (keeping dimensions right, like in area = x km²):

{{Wy/si/Convert|6|x|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} → 6 m × 12 m (20 ft × 39 ft)

About feet, inch in ranges and multiples

While it is possible to enter feet, inch in a simple conversion, this is not possible for ranges:

• {{Wy/si/Convert|1|ft|3|in|mm}} → 1 foot 3 inches (380 mm) (to compare)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1|ft|3|in|x|3|ft|5|in|mm}} → 1 foot 3 inches ()

Words

Spelling of unit name: UK metre or US meter?

Default spelling of units is the British metre. To show the American spelling, use Template:Para:

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|m|ft}} → 1 metre (3.3 ft) -- default

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} → 1 meter (3.3 ft)

Spell out numbers: ten miles

To write a number in words, use Template:Para:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}} → 10 miles (16,000 m)

To make first letter a capital, use Template:Para

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}} → 10 miles (16,000 m)

Extra words: 4 planted acres

Incomplete section

{{Wy/si/Convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}} → 4 planted acres (1.6 ha)

Extra adjective words: A 10-foot-long corridor

{{Wy/si/Convert|4|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} → 10-foot-long (3.0 m)

Grammatical construction: The 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons

"The American defenders had 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons."

This formatted result is not possible straightforward by using {{Wy/si/convert}}. However, it can be made in three steps.

Step 1: Enter the input numbers and units in {{Wy/si/convert}} just to get the calculated output:

• had {{Wy/si/Convert|18 |, |24 |, |32 |lb |kg |0 }} cannons

→ had 18, 24, 32 pounds (8, 11, 15 kg) cannons

The core conversion should look good now. You can save this (or preview).

Step 2: We need the resulting text in plain code in the page, not as a {{Wy/si/convert}} template.

For this, add subst: to the template name (for 'substitute') :

• had {{subst:convert|18 |, |24 |, |32 |lb |kg |0 }} cannons

As a check: the preview result should show the conversion correct, with the numbers still right.

Now save this.

→ had 18, 24, 32 pounds (8, 11, 15 kg) cannons

Step 3: When opening the edit screen again, you'll see that the text is there in code. The template {{Wy/si/convert}} itself has disappeared. You can change the text as needed. The edit screen text is:

had 18, 24, 32 pounds (8, 11, 15 kg) cannons

You can edit this text to add the grammar:

• had 18-,_24-_and_32-pounder (8, 11_and_15 kg) cannons

After saving your edit, it shows:

→ "had 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons".

Numbers

Using an SI prefix: gigameter (Gm), or micrometer (μm)

Units can have an SI prefix like G before the unit: Gm, and giga before the name: gigameter. These are plain multiplication factors.

To illustrate, these are trivial calculations (from meter to meter), showing the multiplication factor:

• 12 Gm (1.2×10¹⁰ m)
• 12 μm (1.2×10⁻⁵ m)

The prefix can be added before the SI unit (here: unit m for meter):

• {{Wy/si/Convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}} → 12 Gm (7,500,000 mi)
• Mm: 12 Mm (7,500 mi)
• km: 12 km (39,000 ft)
• mm: 12 mm (0.47 in)
• μm: 12 μm (0.012 mm)
• um: 12 μm (0.012 mm) (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)

The prefix can be used in the output unit:

• {{Wy/si/Convert|12000|mi||Mm|abbr=on}} → 12,000 mi (19 Mm)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}} → 12 in (300,000 μm)

As an exception, the non-SI unit "inch" can have the "μ" prefix too)

• {{Wy/si/Convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}} → 12 μm (470 μin)

Thousands separator: 1,000 mi and 1000 mi

In input, a comma for thousands separator is accepted. A gap (space) is not. In output, by default, the thousand separator is the comma:

• {{Wy/si/Convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 metres (4,050,417 ft)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 metres (4,050,417 ft)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1 234 567|m|ft}} →

Set Template:Para to remove the separator:

• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}} → 1,234,567 metres (4,050,417 ft)

Use Template:Para to set digit grouping by gap (<space>) in larger numbers (thousands separator):

• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234567|m|ft}} → 1,234,567 metres (4,050,417 ft) (To compare, default)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}} → 1234567 metres (4050417 ft)

Setting Template:Para or Template:Para will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:

• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234|m|ft}} → 1,234 metres (4,049 ft) (To compare, default)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1234 metres (4049 ft)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}} → 1,234,567 metres (4,050,417 ft)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234|m|ft|comma=gaps5}} → 1,234 metres (4,049 ft)
• {{Wy/si/Convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps5}} → 1,234,567 metres (4,050,417 ft)

Output manipulation

Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]

Punctuation that distinguishes the two measurements is set by Template:Para.
Options are: b (the default), sqbr, comma, or, br, x|...:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft}} → 10 metres (33 ft) -- ( ) brackets are the default

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} → 10 metres [33 ft]

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} → 10 metres, 33 ft

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} → 10 metres or 33 feet

Setting Template:Para will force a new line (<br>)

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} → 10 metres
33 feet

Setting Template:Para allows any text as separator:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → 10 metres_MyText_33 ft -- (To display spaces, use  )

Flipping (reordering) the two measurements: 1,609.3 metres (1 mile)

Setting Template:Para will flip (swap) the two measurements:

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|mi|m}} → 1 mile (1,609.3 metres) (To compare, default)

{{Wy/si/Convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}} → 1,609.3 metres (1 mile)

When converting to multiple units, the effect is:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}} → 6.2137 miles; 5.3996 nautical miles (10 kilometres)

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}} → 5.3996 nautical miles; 6.2137 miles (10 kilometres)

Displaying parts of the result: 2 (1.5)

It is possible to display only parts of the conversion result:

{{Wy/si/Convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=out|abbr=off}}	2 cubic yards (1.5 m3)	Output value and unit

Table options

For the wikitable structure, there are two options: split over columns and make the table sortable.

Show numbers only in columns in a table

Using {convert} in a table cell, with Template:Para splits the result over two columns:

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}} → style="text-align:right;"|10

|style="text-align:right;"|33

Template:Para does the same, and also centers the text:

{{Wy/si/Convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}} → style="text-align:center;"|20

|style="text-align:center;"|66

The units are added as a column header:

	m	ft
Template:Para	10	33
Template:Para	20	66
Template:Para (default)	30 metres (98 ft)

Sorting

Use both Template:Para Template:Para to produce table columns (pipe symbols), with sortable table column. As of January 2013, only the first (lefthand) column will sort (improvements pending).

{{Wy/si/Convert|10|m|ft|disp=table|sortable=on}} →
