::::: Maybe I should rephrase myself, as i did not intend to kill the conversation. | |||
::::: What do we need? Something like {{obr}}'''convert'''|value|from-unit|to-unit|''decimals''|''hide-unit''{{cbr}} used like {{obr}}convert|15|m/s|fps{{cbr}} to get "49 fps"? | |||
::::: I think it is very much possible to do with what we have. It basically abstracts to a matrix of statements from the two unit switches and math done with Mediawiki's [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##expr #expr parser function] ([https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Extension:ParserFunctions&oldid=2559944##expr perm]). | |||
::::: ICAO Annex 4 could give some pointers for units, abbreviations and conversion factors. | |||
::::: Sounding a bit like Horay here, but I think converting between the the most used units could most probably be done ''well'' within a couple hundred lines of (well formatted and commented) template code (including user documentation). | |||
