Template {{convert}} calculates measurements from one unit (you can enter) to another one, and then presents the results. For example:
{{convert|2|km|mi}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|7|mi|km}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted

Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): 1 pound or 1 lb?
By default, the first value shows unit name, the second the symbols (= abbreviation).
Use |abbr=on/off
to change this behaviour:
{{convert|1|lb|kg}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted (To compare; default: first value shows unit name){{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
|abbr=in
toggles the default behaviour (|abbr=out
):
{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Adjective: a 10-mile distance
Use |adj=on
to produce the adjective form. The difference:
{{convert|10|mi|km}} to go
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted to go. (To compare, default)A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance
→ A Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted distance. (Adjective form)
Rounding: 100 ft is 30 m or 30.5 m or 30.48 m?
In detail, it is Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted. 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 | ||

{{convert|123|ft|m|-1}} | Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted | |
{{convert|123|ft|m|0}} | Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted | |

{{convert|550|ft|m|0}} | Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted | Approximate value is 167.64 m |
{{convert|550|ft|m}} | Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted | Rounds to 170, when approximate value is 167.64 m |
{{convert|500|ft|m|0}} | Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted | Approximate value is 152.4 m |
{{convert|500|ft|m}} | Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted | Rounds to 150, when approximate value is 152.4 m |
Convert supports four types of rounding:
Round to a given precision: use |precision=
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 |sigfig=
To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use |sigfig=<number>
:
- To compare: {{convert|1200|ft|m}} → Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
- {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} → Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
- {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} → Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
- {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} → Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
- {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} → Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Setting |sigfig=
is meaningless
- {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Round to a multiple of 5: 15, 20, 25, ...
Using |round=5
rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.
{{convert|10|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Similar: using |round=25
rounds the outcome to a multiple of 25.
{{convert|10|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|10|m|ft|round=25}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted- To compare:
{{convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
In a range, one can round each value individually to the default. Use |round=each
:
{{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Round to a multiple of a given fraction: 2 3/16 inch
Specify the desired denominator using |frac=<some positive integer>
. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in 1/3).
{{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
The fraction is reduced when possible:
{{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|8|cm|in}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted (To compare)
xRounding 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.
{{convert|10|C|F K}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Note
- For a temperature difference, like to convert "A rise of 20 °C", use
|C-change=20
&tc. {{convert|20|C-change|F-change K-change}}
→ A rise of Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
- To compare: "A temperature of 20 °C" would yield: A temperature of Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Into multiple units: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Separate the multiple output units by a space:
{{convert|10|C|F K}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|5|km|mi nmi}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted

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 {{convert}}. However, it can be made in three steps.
- Step 1: Enter the input numbers and units in {{convert}} just to get the calculated output:
had {{convert|18 |, |24 |, |32 |lb |kg |0 }} cannons
- → had Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted 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 {{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 {{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:
- Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
- Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
The prefix can be added before the SI unit (here: unit m
for meter):
{{convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permittedMm
: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permittedkm
: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permittedmm
: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permittedμm
: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permittedum
: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)
The prefix can be used in the output unit:
{{convert|12000|mi||Mm|abbr=on}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
As an exception, the non-SI unit "inch" can have the "μ" prefix too)
{{convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
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:
{{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|1 234 567|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Set |comma=off
to remove the separator:
{{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Use |comma=gaps
to set digit grouping by gap (<space>
) in larger numbers (thousands separator):
{{convert|1234567|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted (To compare, default){{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Setting |comma=5
or |comma=gaps5
will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:
{{convert|1234|m|ft}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted (To compare, default){{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=gaps5}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps5}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Output manipulation
Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]
Punctuation that distinguishes the two measurements is set by |disp=
.
Options are: b

→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Setting |disp=br
will force a new line (<br>
)
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Setting |disp=x|...
allows any text as separator:
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted -- (To display spaces, use
)
Flipping (reordering) the two measurements: Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Setting |order=flip
will flip (swap) the two measurements:
{{convert|1|mi|m}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted (To compare, default){{convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
When converting to multiple units, the effect is:
{{convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted{{convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}}

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 |disp=table
splits the result over two columns:
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
|disp=tablecen
does the same, and also centers the text:
{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}}
→ Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
The units are added as a column header:
m ft |disp=table
Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted |disp=tablecen
Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted |disp=<other>
(default)Lua error: Cannot create process: proc_open(/dev/null): Failed to open stream: Operation not permitted
Sorting
- Use both
|disp=table
|sortable=on
to produce table columns (pipe symbols), with sortable table column. As of January 2013, only the first (lefthand) column will sort (improvements pending).
