Template:Infobox person/weight/doc

Template:Infobox person/weight is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of weight measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |weight= parameter.

  1. Template:Infobox person/weight changes text for units of weight to the abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st", then passes the string to:
  2. Template:Infobox person/weight/locate which replaces any instances of   with a space, and determines the positions of "kg", "lb", or "st" within that string, all of which is passed to:
  3. Template:Infobox person/weight/switch which does the conversion
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|1 kilogram}} → 1 kg (2 lb)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kilograms}} → 108 kg (238 lb)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kgs}} → 108 kg (238 lb)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|1 pound}} → 1 lb (0 kg)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 pounds}} → 238 lb (108 kg)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 lbs}} → 238 lb (108 kg)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|1 stone}} → 1 st (14 lb; 6 kg)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|17 sts}} → 17 st (238 lb; 108 kg)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|108kilograms}} → 108 kg (238 lb)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 pounds}} → 238 lb (108 kg)

Exceptions

change

Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions), but does replace units with abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st":

  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kilograms (229 pounds)}} → 108 kg (229 lb)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 pounds (119 kilograms)}} → 238 lb (119 kg)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|17 stone (229 pounds; 119 kilograms)}} → 17 st (229 lb; 119 kg)

Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} (examples have precision different than usual), but does replace units with abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st":

  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}}} → 108.1 kg (238.3 lb)
    • compare to: {{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}} → 108.1 kilograms (238.3 pounds)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|{{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}}} → 238.2 lb (108.05 kg)
    • compare to: {{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}} → 238.2 pounds (108.05 kilograms)
  • {{Template:Infobox person/weight|{{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}}} → 17.3 st (242.2 lb; 109.9 kg)
    • compare to: {{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}} → 17.3 stone (242.2 pounds; 109.9 kilograms)
