For currency conversion into US dollars, see Template:To USD

Template {{convert}} calculates from one measurement unit to another one, and then presents the results, formatted. The complete list of unit symbols recognized by the template is here.

For example:

{{convert|2|km|mi}} → (km entered, converted into miles)

{{convert|7|mi|km}} → (mi entered, converted into km)

Numbers can be rounded, units can be abbreviated into symbols:

{{convert|2|km|mi|2|abbr=on}} →

{{convert|7|mi|km|2|abbr=on}} →

Value ranges can be entered using |to|... or |-|...:

{{convert|2|to|5|km|mi}} →

{{convert|2|-|5|km|mi}} →

Combined effect example:

{{convert|2|-|5|km|mi|2|abbr=on}} →

{{convert|2|and|5|km|mi|sigfig=3|abbr=off}} →

See Help:Convert for more detailed, technical information

Units to convert

See also: the summary at Complete list of units for {{Convert}} and the complete list at Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data

Enter units to convert from into:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg}} →

SI units generally accept prefixes, like "m" for milli (10⁻³), and "M" for mega (10⁶)

For "per" units, use "/" (slash): kg/ha

For three-unit units, etc., see Template:Cl

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

By default, the first quantity shows the unit name, the second shows the symbol (or abbreviation):

• {{convert|1|lb|kg}} →

Using |abbr=in is the reverse behaviour to the default:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=in}} →

To abbreviate both or neither:

• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=off}} →

Convenience: {{cvt}} has |abbr=on by default

Template {{cvt}} is the same as {{convert}}, except that it has |abbr=on as the default behaviour. In {{cvt}}, all other options are available. So:

{{cvt|1|lb|kg}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

is equivalent to:

{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 1 lb (0.45 kg)

Adjective: a 10-mile distance

Use |adj=on to produce the adjectival (hyphenated) form:

• A {{convert|10|mi|km|adj=on}} distance → A distance.

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|mi|km}} to go → to go.

|adj=on does not produce hyphens with unit symbols, as per :

• A {{convert|9|in|cm|adj=on|abbr=on}} nail → A nail.

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

See Template:Section link for a more mathematical description of the rounding options

By definition, 100 ft equals . In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.

Default rounding

By {{Convert}} 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 digits, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is rounding temperatures (see below).

Examples of rounding
Input	Displays as	Note
{{convert|123|ft|m|-1}}
{{convert|123|ft|m}}		same output as with 0 (below)
{{convert|123|ft|m|0}}
{{convert|123|ft|m|1}}
{{convert|123|ft|m|2}}		The more-exact value is 37.4904 m or so, which gets converted to 37 m if this parameter is not specified at all.
{{convert|500|ft|m|-1}}
{{convert|500|ft|m}}		same output as with −1 (above), because the conversion factor is between 0.2 and 2 (hence, it should produce same double-zero precision (−2) as in the input value), but the conversion must produce two significant digits at a minimum (hence, a higher single-zero precision (−1) is used)
{{convert|500|ft|m|0}}
{{convert|500|ft|m|1}}
{{convert|500|ft|m|2}}		exact value is 152.4 m
{{convert|500|ft|cm|-3}}
{{convert|500|ft|cm}}		same output as with −3 (above), because the conversion factor is between 20 and 200 (hence, it should decrease input value's double-zero precision (−2) by 2), but the conversion must produce two significant digits at a minimum (hence, a higher triple-zero precision (−3) is used)
{{convert|500|ft|cm|0}}

Convert supports four types of rounding:

Round to a given precision: use a precision number

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 multiple of to the power of 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: |sigfig=

To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use |sigfig=<number>:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=4}} →
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=3}} →
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=2}} →
• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=1}} →

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m}} →

Setting |sigfig= to a value less than 1 is meaningless:

• {{convert|1200|ft|m|sigfig=0}} → N

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

Using |round=5 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 5.

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} →
• {{convert|10|m|ft|round=5}} →

Similar: using |round=25 rounds the outcome to a multiple of 25.

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} →
• {{convert|10|m|ft|round=25}} →

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|sigfig=4}} →

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

• {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft}} →
• {{convert|10 x 200 x 3000|m|ft|round=each}} →

Round to a multiple of a given fraction: inch

Specify the desired denominator using |frac=<some positive integer>. (Denominator is the below-the-slash number, for example the 3 in ).

• {{convert|5.56|cm|in|frac=16}} →
• {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=4}} →

The fraction is reduced when possible:

• {{convert|8|cm|in|frac=100}} →

Default behaviour uses decimal notation:

• {{convert|5.56|cm|in}} →

Rounding temperatures: °C, °F and K

In temperatures, the conversion will be rounded either to the 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.

1. {{convert|10,000|C|F K}} →
2. {{convert|10,000.1|C|F K}} →
3. {{convert|-272|C|F K}} →
4. {{convert|-272|C}} →
5. {{convert|100|C|F K}} →
6. {{convert|0|C|F K}} →

The precision of the input number in example (1) is one digit, but the precision of its Kelvins expression is three, so the precision of the Fahrenheit conversion is made three (made 180...) . (1) and (2) seem to belie the fact that a , and make the 32 degrees difference shown in (1) begin to seem off somehow. Result (1) seems off until you set the significant figures yourself with |sigfig=:

{{convert|10000|C|sigfig=5}} →

or you set the precision positionally, relative to the decimal point (zero being at the decimal point):

{{convert|10000|C|0}} →

The precision of the input number in example (2) is six, so the precision of the Fahrenheit output is, whereas before, Kelvins had determined it to be three. Examples (3) and (4) show how this can be hidden and generate questions, but it occurs there because the Kelvins conversion generated two fractional parts. (Before it was the input number that generated the fractional part.) In example (3) the three input digits converted into five significant output digits because of the two digits after the decimal point, generated by the Kelvins conversion. This happened again in (5), but in (6) decimal fractions were neither given as input nor induced by the Kelvins conversion.

Rounding input

There is limited support for rounding the displayed input number. The rounding takes place after conversion, so the output is based on the full-precision input. This is useful when the input is produced by Template:Tlc or otherwise available to a higher precision than is usefully displayed, and it's desirable to avoid double-rounding.

To round the input to a specified number of digits after the decimal point, use one of the parameters:

• |adj=ri0
• |adj=ri1
• |adj=ri2
• |adj=ri3

Note that there is no |adj=ri-1N or similar for rounding above the decimal place. Neither is there support for significant figures, multiples of 5, or any other output-rounding feature.

The default precision is computed based on the input, so an explicit output precision must usually be supplied:

• Template:Tlc → N (precisions are mismatched)
• Template:Tlc → Y

In this case, if the input were rounded before conversion, a different result would be obtained:

• Template:Tlc → N (double rounding)

Into multiple units:

Separate the multiple output units by a space:

• {{convert|10|C|F K}} →
• {{convert|5|km|mi nmi}} →

If the output unit names contain spaces, use + as the separator.

See also:

• For multiple-unit options like 1 ft 5 in, see Template:Section link and Template:Section link.

Ranges of values

Para a conversion of a difference, lon me ing #Units of difference.

A range converts two values and separates them by your choice of words and punctuation.

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:

Use by:

• {{convert|6|by|12|ft|m}} →

Use ×, multiplication sign, or x, letter:

• {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft}} →

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

• {{convert|6|x|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} →

Lists of values: 20, 40, or 60 miles

{{convert|20|,|40|, or|60|mi}} →

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:

• {{convert|1|ft|3|in|x|3|ft|5|in|mm}} → N

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1|ft|3|in|mm}} →

However, converting metric units into feet and inches with |order=flip can produce the desired output:

• {{convert|380|x|1040|mm|ftin|order=flip}} →

Words

Spelling of unit name: international metre or US meter?

Default spelling of units is in the en (generic) locale. To show en-US spelling, use |sp=us:

{{convert|1|m|ft}} → —default

{{convert|1|m|ft|sp=us}} →

Spell out numbers: ten miles

To write a number in words, use |spell=in:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=in}} →

To spell out both in and out values, use |spell=on:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on}} →

To make first letter a capital, use |spell=In, |spell=On

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=In}} →
• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=On}} →

Remember that the spelling of the units (ft, m) is independently set by |abbr=. To the extreme:

• {{convert|10|mi|m|spell=on|abbr=off|sp=us}} →

Inserted before units: 4 planted acres

• {{convert|4|acre||adj=pre|planted}} →

disp=preunit is similar, but has no separator after the specified text, and can have different text for the output value:

• {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted }} →
• {{convert|4|acre||disp=preunit|planted |reforested-}} →

After adjective unit: A corridor

Note that two units (in this case, ft and m) are required. Use with just one unit will generate an error message.

{{convert|10|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}} →

Plurals: 1 inch, 2 inches

The unit symbol is singular always. Depending on the preceding number only, a unit name can be shown plural.

• {{convert|1|metre}} →
• {{convert|2|metre}} →
• {{convert|2|metre|abbr=on}} →

Exception

Entering the unit spelled |foot| forces singular output "foot", whatever the number is.

• {{convert|100|foot|abbr=off}} →

Fractions: one-eighth of an imperial pint

The convert template also supports spelling out fractions.

• {{convert|3+1/2|oz|g|spell=in}} →

Any additional words needed for the fraction can also be added at the end of the template.

• {{convert|1/8|imppt|ml|spell=in|adj=pre|of an}} →

Wrapping and line breaking

See Template:Section link

Spelling out "thousands", "millions", etc.

Most unit codes accept a prefix of e3 (thousand) or e6 (million) or e9 (billion).

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km}} →
• {{convert|120|e6acre}} →
• {{convert|120|e6acre|e3km2}} →

To display both input and output in scientific notation, use |abbr=on

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=on}} →

To spell out "thousands", "millions", etc., |abbr=unit abbreviates the unit; |abbr=off displays both full unit names.

• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=unit}} →
• {{convert|100|e6mi|e6km|abbr=off}} →

Numbers

Using an SI prefix: gigametre (Gm), or micrometre (μm)

Template:Sidebar metric prefixes (small) Units can have an SI prefix like G before the unit: Gm, and giga before the name: gigametre. These are plain multiplication factors.

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

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

• {{convert|12|Gm|mi|abbr=on}} →
• Mm:
• km:
• mm:
• μm:
• um: (letter "u" can be used for "μ" here)

The prefix can be used in the output unit:

• {{convert|12000|mi|Mm|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|12|in|μm|abbr=on}} →

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

• {{convert|12|μm|μin|abbr=on}} →

Further information: Help:Convert units § SI prefixes

Engineering notation: 7 × 10⁶ m

In the unit: e6m

Engineering notation can be entered as a "prefix" to the unit:

• {{convert|70|e6m}} →

The same is possible for the output unit:

• {{convert|23,000,000|ft|e6m}} →

Any standard unit (not a combination, multiple, or built-in unit) can have such a prefix:

• e3 (thousand),
• e6 (million),
• e9 (billion),
• e12 (trillion),
• e15 (quadrillion).

Scientific notation: 1.23 × 10⁻¹⁴

In scientific notation, a number is written like 1.23×10⁻¹⁴. The plain number has exactly one digit before the decimal point.

With {{convert}}, the input can be in e-notation such as 12.3e4. This value is displayed as a power of ten, and the output is displayed in scientific notation, except that an output value satisfying 0.01 <= v < 1000 is shown as a normal number. In addition, if the output value is 1000 and sigfig=4 is used, the value is displayed as a normal number.

• {{convert|12.3e-15|atm|atm|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|0.00000005|atm|atm|abbr=on}} →

Input with fractions:

The number to convert can be written in fractions. Both / (keyboard slash) and ⁄ (fraction slash) are accepted:

• {{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}} →
• {{convert|1⁄2|in|mm|1}} →

With positive mixed numbers (a positive integer and a fraction), use a + sign

• {{convert|2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}} →

With negative mixed numbers, use a hyphen - and repeat it:

• {{convert|-2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} →

Note that the following cases are not interpreted as mixed numbers:

• {{convert|2-1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → . This is interpreted as a range from 2 inches to 1⁄2 inch.
• {{convert|-2+1⁄2|in|mm|1}} → N This is neither a mixed number nor a range, and mathematical expressions requiring calculations are not allowed here.

Horizontal fraction bar: 1/2 inch

Using a double slash (//) provides a horizontal fraction bar for the original (input) unit:

• {{convert|1//2|in|mm|1}} →
• {{convert|6+3//8|in|mm|1}} →

Using a negative value for |frac= provides a horizontal fraction bar for the converted (output) unit:

• {{convert|12.7|mm|frac=-2}} →
• {{convert|161.9|mm|frac=-8}} →

Thousands separator: 1,000 mi or 1000 mi

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

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} →
• {{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}} →

Set |comma=off to remove the separator from the output:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=off}} →

Use |comma=gaps to use digit grouping by gap (thin space) as a thousands separator:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}} →

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1234567|m|ft}} →

Setting |comma=5 will only add the separator when the number of digits is 5 or more:

• {{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}} →
• {{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=5}} →

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1234|m|ft}} →

Output manipulation

Brackets and separators: 10 m [33 ft]

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

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=sqbr}} →
• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=comma}} →
• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=or}} →

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|10|m|ft}} →

Setting |disp=br will force a new line (<br/>)

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br}} →

Also |disp=br() will force a new line, and keep the brackets (useful in tables):

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=br()}} →

Setting |disp=x|… allows any text as separator:

• {{convert|10|m|ft|disp=x|_MyText_}} → (To display spaces, use  )

Flipping (reordering) the two measurements:

Setting |order=flip will flip (swap) the two measurements:

• {{convert|1|mi|m|order=flip}} →

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|1|mi|m}} →

When converting to multiple units, the effect is:

• {{convert|10|km|mi nmi|order=flip}} →
• {{convert|10|km|nmi mi|order=flip}} →

Fixed ordering of output units:

Setting |order=out shows the output-units as ordered; the input unit is skipped:

• {{convert|100|C|F C K|abbr=on|order=out}} →
• {{convert|200|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on|order=out}} →

See also: § Displaying parts of the output.

Displaying parts of the result:

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

Convert	Output	Returns
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3}}		Regular output (for comparison)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|abbr=values}}		Input and output numbers
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit}}		Input unit
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit|adj=on}}		Input unit, adjective (hyphenated)
{{convert|2|cuyd|cuyd|disp=out}}		Input (workaround. Note repetition of unit in input)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|abbr=~}}		Input: both name and symbol
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit2}}		Output unit (symbol)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=unit2|abbr=off}}		Output unit (name)
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=number}}		Output value
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=out}}		Output value and unit name
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|disp=out|abbr=off}}		Output value and unit symbol

Display both input name and symbol: 2 kilopascals [kPa]

Setting |abbr=~ returns both name and symbol of the first (input) unit:

• {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~}} →
• A {{convert|2|kPa|psi|abbr=~|adj=on}} pressure → A pressure

Table options

For the wikitable structure, there are three options: add a line-break, split the result over columns and make the table sortable.

Enforced line break

|disp=br adds a line-break and omits brackets.

|disp=br() adds a line-break and does add brackets to the converted value. This may be useful in tables:

|disp=br	|disp=br()

Table columns

Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two (or more) columns. By default units are not included in the table, however, they can be added using the |abbr= parameter. Multiple-unit outputs, like ftin, always output their units to the table.

{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}} →

|disp=tablecen does the same, and also centers the text:

{{convert|20|m|ft|disp=tablecen}} →

The units are added as a column header:

	kilograms	pounds	stone and pounds
|disp=table
|disp=table and |abbr=on
|disp=table and |abbr=off
|disp=tablecen
|disp=<other> (default)

Sorting

Use |sortable=on to include a hidden numerical sortkey in the output, suitable for use in a table with sortable columns. Technically, this places a hidden string before the actual displayed values:

{{convert|10|m|ft|sortable=on}} → <span data-sort-value="7001100000000000000♠"></span>10 metres (33 ft)

showing: .

Use both |disp=table and |sortable=on together to produce table columns (pipe symbols) for each value in sortable columns:

	m	m	ft
A	15.75 m
B	15.5 m
C	16 m
D	16 m

The generated sortkey is calculated in a consistent way based on both the value and its unit as passed to the convert template. In most cases convert uses the passed value converted to SI base units. It is therefore not necessarily the displayed value or other alternate units and is calculated regardless of output format options. Using different units or different order of units in individual rows should therefore not lead to incorrect sorting, although variations in rounding can give surprising results, since an unrounded number is used for the sortkey.

Units

The conversion factors and physical constants are sourced here.

All units

See also: Convert/list of units

Units are case-sensitive: use Template:Xt, not Template:!xt or Template:!xt

'per' units: kg/hl, miles per gallon

When using a slash (/), a unit like kg/hl is recognized as kilograms per hectolitre and will be converted with other mass/volume units.

• {{convert|1000|kg/hl}} →

Population density (inhabitants per square mile) can be converted using

• {{convert|10|PD/sqmi|PD/km2}} →

Vehicular fuel efficiency, commonly expressed in miles per gallon or litres per 100 km can also be converted

• {{convert|26|mpgUS|l/100km mpgimp}} →

Units of difference: Expressing a change or difference in temperature

We have already discussed standard temperature conversions (°C, °F, K), as shown in these two examples:

• {{convert|10|C}} → (standard temperature conversion)
• {{convert|10–15|C}} → (standard temperature range conversion)

When expressing a temperature change (e.g., "The temperature increased by 10 °C"), or when comparing temperatures (e.g., "10 to 15 °C warmer"), we cannot use the standard temperature units (|C, |F and |K), which refer to points on the respective scale. Instead, we must use one of the following "units of difference": |C-change, |F-change and |K-change.

Compare the following two examples with the two above:

• {{convert|10|C-change}} → increase in temperature
• {{convert|10–15|C-change}} → warmer than normal

To produce multiple units in the output:

• {{convert|10|C-change|F-change K-change}} → difference

Multiple units: 1 ft 5 in

In input

Base document Template:Section link lists options for multiple unit input (like ft,in). It can catch predefined sets only (units that can be subdivided; e.g., yd into ft):

• {{convert|1|yd|2|ft|3|in}} →
• {{convert|2|ft|3|in|cm}} →
• {{convert|1|lb|5|oz|g}} →

In output

Available multiple-unit output options predefined, like ftin and ydftin. The full list is at Template:Section link.

• {{convert|2|m|ftin}} →
• {{convert|2|m|ft in}} → , using a space, returns the decimal point

Default behaviour, for comparison:

• {{convert|2|m}} →

See also:

• {{hands}} a length used to measure horses
• {{Long ton}} a weight in ton, cwt, qr and lb

Currency per unit: $/mi → $/km

Using currency symbols in a $ per unit value, you can convert the per-unit:

• {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km}} →
• {{convert|1500|$/ozt|$/g}} →

You can set the currency in both values using |$=€:

• {{convert|10|$/mi|$/km|$=€}} →

It is not possible to convert the currency. So, this result (mixed currencies) is not possible: Template:!mxt N

Using convert inside templates

For usage in template code, like infoboxes, {{Convert}} has these options:

Pre-formatting fraction input

• Module:Convert/helper can read regular input and pre-format it into {{Convert}}-accepted input.

Your template can accept |input=16 7/8 and use {{#invoke:Convert/helper|number|16 7/8}} → 16+7/8

Using a Wikidata property

• Adding the Wikidata property code, like code |input=P2073, to your template code automatically returns the Wikidata property for that article, and convert it. Both number and unit are read.

Note: to return that property value for an other article, use |qid=.

Example for (P2073): Note: this example uses |qid=Q1056131 (testing for (Q1056131))

• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|ftin|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on}} →
• {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on|disp=out}} →

For example see template:Infobox Telescope.

Sometimes a property may have more than one value against it in Wikidata. You can use the |qual= parameter to specify which of the values you want to use.

Example for (P2386): Note: this example uses |qid=Q1513315 (testing for (Q1513315))

• (Q613628): {{convert|input=P2386|qual=Q613628|ft|abbr=on}} →

Template parameters[Edit template data]

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Value	1	The value to convert.	Number	required
From unit	2	The unit for the provided value. Alimbawa km	String	required
To units	3	The units to convert into. Separate units by a space for multiple outputs. In an output unit, use + for a multiplication space. Alimbawa mi nmi	String	suggested
Precision or suffix	4	Significant digits after decimal dot or, if negative, exponent of ten.	Number	optional
Link units	lk	Indication of what units to apply wikilinks to. Use “on” for all, “in” for the input unit, “out” for the output units, or “off” for none of the units. Default off Alimbawa on	String	optional
Abbreviation	abbr	Display for the units: “on” to display all units using their unit symbols, “off” to display all units in full words, “in” to display the unit symbol for the input unit, “out” to display the unit symbols for the output units, “unit” to display unit symbols for both input and output units when using scientific notation, “values” for no units at all (neither unit symbols nor full words of units). Default out Alimbawa on, unit, in, out, off	String	suggested
Spelling	sp	Spelling of units. Use “us” to display unit names using U.S. spelling. Alimbawa us	String	optional
Adjective	adj	Whether to use adjectival form. Use “on” for singular unit name appended by a hyphen, “mid” to put conversion at end, or “off” (default) for no adjectival form. Default off Alimbawa on	Unbalanced wikitext	optional
Conversion	disp	Display conversion result: “or”: after ‘or’, “x”: with custom prefix and suffix, “b”: in parentheses, “table”/“tablecen”, “output only”: alone, “output number only”: alone and without unit, “unit”: not at all but input unit; if the value is a number it is used as precision. Alimbawa b	String	optional
Ordering	order	“flip” returns converted value first, input value second. Alimbawa flip	String	optional
Significant figures	sigfig	Indicates the number of significant figures to be used in rounding.	Number	optional
Rounding output	round	The type of rounding. “5” rounds the output number to nearest multiple of 5, “25” to nearest multiple of 25, “each” rounds each number in a range.	Number	optional
Thousands separator	comma	Sets or suppresses the use of thousands separators in the numbers. “off”: no separator; “gaps”: use space instead of comma as thousands separator; “5”: only add thousands separator when the integral part of the number uses 5 positions or more (10,000 or more; if using comma as thousands separator, 1234 would produce '1234', 12345 would produce '12,345'). Default on Alimbawa off	String	optional
Sort key	sortable	“on” generates a hidden sort key Alimbawa on	String	optional
Spell numbers?	spell	If used, spells input or input and output numbers in words, optionally capitalizing the first Alimbawa 'in', 'In', 'on', or 'On'	String	optional
Singular?	sing	If 'yes', uses singular form of units (deprecated) Alimbawa yes	String	deprecated
Fraction?	frac	fraction as rounding unit	Number	optional
Currency symbol	$	sets currency symbol in both units Alimbawa $=€ will show " €10 per mile (€6.2/km)"	String	optional
WD property	input	Reads the property value of the item (article), then converts it Alimbawa {{convert|input=P2046}} (P2046=area)	String	optional
