Modul:Convert/extra/doc

Bu sahifa Modul:Convert/extra uchun hujjat sahifasidir

This module can be used to quickly add a new unit for use with {{convert}}. When satisfied that a unit is working correctly, ask at Module talk:Convert for the unit to be moved to the permanent list of units.

See Template:Convert/unit sandbox for a good way to prepare unit definitions that can be copied into this page.

The following extracts from Module:Convert/data show examples that could be used to define a new unit. Any number of spaces can be used where blanks are shown in the following.

Examples for additions to Module:Convert/extra (For the actual module code see below)

Field	Description
`symbol`	Unit identifier used when `abbr=on` is in effect.
`name1`	Singular name of the unit used when `abbr=off` is in effect.
`name2`	Plural name of the unit; not required if it is the same as `name1` plus "s".
`name1_us`	Singular name when `sp=us` is in effect; not required if the same as `name1`.
`name2_us`	Plural name when `sp=us` is in effect; not required if the same as `name1_us` plus "s".
`utype`	Unit type; must be exactly the same as the `utype` of any other unit used in a conversion.
`scale`	Number of base units in the unit being defined.
`default`	Unit code of the default output used when no output unit is specified in a conversion.
`target`	Unit code of an existing unit (the unit being defined "redirects" to the existing unit).
`prefixes`	Use 1 if an SI prefix is accepted; 2 is used for `m²`, and 3 is used for `m³`.
`link`	Article title used when `lk=on` is in effect; not required if it is the same as `name1`.
