Example references

{{Convert}} templates, without and with wikilinked unit names:

• |weight={{Convert|111|kg|lb stlb|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight={{Convert|111|kg|lb stlb|abbr=off|lk=on}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
  • {{#invoke:Template test case|main}}
• |weight={{Convert|245|lb|kg stlb|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight={{Convert|245|lb|kg stlb|abbr=off|lk=on}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
  • {{#invoke:Template test case|main}}

Weight ranges with input containing en dash (–):

• |weight=108–111 kg → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=238–245 lb → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=17–18 st → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}

Weight ranges with input containing hyphen (-); output is changed to en dash by {{Convert}}:

• |weight=108-111 kg → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=238-245 lb → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=17-18 st → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}

If a template uses {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|nolink=yes|code=yes}}, then an article using that template with an input in kg will display two conversions: lb followed by st/lb (default is one conversion to lb):

• |weight=100 kg → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=108–111 kg → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}

If a template uses {{#Invoke:Template link general|main|nolink=yes|code=yes}}, then an article using that template with an input in lb will display two conversions: kg followed by st/lb (default is one conversion to kg):

• |weight=200 lb → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=238-245 lb → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}

Exceptions

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

• |weight=108 kilograms (229 pounds) → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=238 pounds (119 kilograms) → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=17 stone (229 pounds; 119 kilograms) → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}

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

• |weight={{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}
• |weight={{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}
• |weight={{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}} → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
  • output of convert template: {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}}

Areas for improvement

Conversion not displayed if unit name contains uppercase characters:

• |weight=100 Kilograms → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=100 KG → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=200 Pounds → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=200 LB → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=10 Stone → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
• |weight=10 ST → {{#invoke:Person weight|weight}}
