Template:Convert/Transwiki guide

Gotšwa go Wikipedia

The following need to be copied to any Wikipedia using {{convert}}. Please use an edit summary like the text shown so the history will show where each page came from.

Template:Convert copy from [[:en:Template:Convert]]
Template:Fraction/styles.css copy from [[:en:Template:Fraction/styles.css]]
Template:Sfrac/styles.css copy from [[:en:Template:Sfrac/styles.css]]
Module:Convert copy from [[:en:Module:Convert]]
Module:Convert/data copy from [[:en:Module:Convert/data]]
Module:Convert/text copy from [[:en:Module:Convert/text]]
Module:Convert/wikidata copy from [[:en:Module:Convert/wikidata]]
Module:Convert/wikidata/data copy from [[:en:Module:Convert/wikidata/data]]

The two wikidata modules are only needed if convert is used to access information from Wikidata.

If your Wikipedia is currently using a convert template, the new template should be copied to Template:Convert/sandbox. When satisfied that the sandbox convert template is performing correctly, it can be used to replace Template:Convert.

Other pages are needed, but the above is all that is required in order to have a working convert template.

Please do not translate text until you have read the translate page.

The modules are used for the following templates:

The history of {{convert}} can be seen in the Template:Oldid of this page. Before the module was used in December 2013, over 4000 subtemplates were used to implement convert—those subtemplates are no longer needed, and should not be copied.
