Parameter value missing
does this template automatically add the to-unit units? in other words, if i "convert|100|mph|kts" will it put kts after the converted number?
also all i can get out of it is like seen on the convert page at the top where it just says "Parameter value missing" but i know they're there... see my experiment here...

- Hmm. Looking at the template I nearly immediately spotted the problem. I had used named parameters instead of unnamed/numbered parameters (i.e. using
{{{value}}}
in the template, requiring the value to be written asvalue=72
when "calling" the template instead of just72
as was intended).
- With that fixed the issue should be limited to "just" units not yet implemented. :-P
