Editing Template:Convert/doc (section)

==Using convert inside templates==
For usage in template code, like infoboxes, {{tlf|Convert}} has these options:
;Pre-formatting fraction input
* [[Module:Convert/helper]] can read regular input and pre-format it into {{tlf|Convert}}-accepted input.
:Your template can accept {{para|input|16 7/8}} and use <nowiki>{{#invoke:Convert/helper|number|16 7/8}}</nowiki> &rarr; {{#invoke:Convert/helper|number|16 7/8}}

;Using a Wikidata property
* Adding the Wikidata property code, like code {{para|input|P2073}}, to your template code automatically returns the Wikidata property for that article, and convert it. Both number and unit are read.
Note: to return that property value for an ''other'' article, use {{para|qid}}.

Example for {{Wikidata property link|P2073}} of {{Wikidata entity link|{{get QID|Cessna 208 Caravan}}}}:
* <code><nowiki>{{convert|input=P2073|qid={{get QID|Cessna 208 Caravan}}|ftin|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code>  &rarr; {{convert|input=P2073|qid={{get QID|Cessna 208 Caravan}}|ftin|abbr=on}}
* <code><nowiki>{{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code>  &rarr; {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on}}
* <code><nowiki>{{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on|disp=out}}</nowiki></code>  &rarr; {{convert|input=P2073|qid=Q1056131|km|abbr=on|disp=out}}
:For example see [[template:Infobox Telescope]].

Sometimes a property may have more than one value against it in Wikidata. You can use the {{para|qual}} parameter to specify which of the values you want to use.

Example for {{Wikidata property link|P2386}}:
Note: this example uses {{para|qid|Q1513315}} (testing for {{Wikidata entity link|Q1513315}})
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q613628}}: <code><nowiki>{{convert|input=P2386|qual=Q613628|ft|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|input=P2386|qid=Q1513315|qual=Q613628|ft|abbr=on}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q1395645}}: <code><nowiki>{{convert|input=P2386|qual=Q1395645|ft|abbr=on}}</nowiki></code> → {{convert|input=P2386|qid=Q1513315|qual=Q1395645|ft|abbr=on}}
