Exceptions

Does not replace numbers in manually entered conversions, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions):

• |height=5 feet 2 inches (1.00 metres) → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=5 feet 2 inches (100 centimetres) → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=1.57 metres (5 feet 5 inches) → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=157 centimetres (5 feet 5 inches) → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}

Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} or {{height}}, but does replace unit names with abbreviations (examples intentionally show different precision than usual):

• |height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|m|3|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}
• |height={{Convert|5|ft|2|in|cm|sigfig=4|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}
• |height={{Convert|1.57|m|ftin|1|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}
• |height={{Convert|157|cm|ftin|1|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}
• |height={{Height|m=1.57|frac=4|abbr=no}} → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
  • output of height template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown=|preview=Page using Template:Height with unknown parameter "_VALUE_"|ignoreblank=y| abbr | centimeter | centimeters | centimetre | centimetres | cm | feet | foot | frac | ft | in | inch | inches | m | meter | meters | metre | metres | out | precision | wiki | _NULLPARAMETER_

Areas for improvement

 Fixed – Conversions not displayed if unit name contains uppercase characters:

• |height=157 CM → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=1.57 M → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=5 FT 2 IN → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}

 Fixed – Conversion not displayed if symbols are used for feet and inches:

• |height=5' 2" → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=5′ 2″ → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}

 Fixed – Does not recognize symbols for feet and inches in a manually entered conversion (adds a second conversion):

• |height=157cm (5' 2") → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
• |height=1.57m (5′ 2″) → {{#invoke:Person height|main}}
