-- Extra conversion data used by Module:Convert. -- -- [[Module:Convert/data]] defines all units and is transcluded in all pages -- where [[Module:Convert]] is used. Testing new units by editing that module -- would invalidate the cache for all affected pages. -- -- For quick changes and experiments with new units, this module can be edited. -- Since this module is transcluded in only a small number of pages, changes -- should cause little server overhead and should propagate quickly. -- -- If a unit is defined in the data module, any definition here is ignored, -- so defining the same unit in both modules is not an error. -- A unit defined here can refer to units that are also defined here, and -- can refer to units defined in the data module. -- -- Periodically, those extra units that are wanted permanently can be removed -- from here after being added to [[Module:Convert/data]]. local extra_units = { ["sec"] = { -- experiment per request at [[Template talk:Convert#Auto-select time unit?]] _name1 = "second", _symbol = "s", utype = "time", scale = 1, prefixes = 1, default = "v < 7200 ! min ! h", link = "Second", }, ["inches"] = { target = "in", }, ["bit"] = { _name1 = "bit", _symbol = "bit", utype = "information", scale = 0.125, prefixes = 1, default = "B", link = "Bit", }, ["B"] = { _name1 = "byte", _symbol = "B", utype = "information", scale = 8, prefixes = 1, default = "bit", link = "Byte", }, ["DW-tonne"] = { name1_us = "deadweight metric ton", symbol = "deadweight tonne", sym_us = "~deadweight metric ton", usename = 1, utype = "mass", scale = 1000, default = "DWton", link = "Deadweight tonnage", }, ["hm³"] = { target = "hm3", }, ["MPGE"] = { -- temporary test for scale 1609.344/(33.705*3.6e6) planned at [[Template talk:Convert#Check arithmetic for MPGe conversion]] ([[Special:PermanentLink/1133610113#Check arithmetic for MPGe conversion|permalink]]) name1 = "mile per gallon gasoline equivalent", name2 = "miles per gallon gasoline equivalent", symbol = "mpg‑e", utype = "energy per unit length", scale = 1.3263314048360777e-5, invert = -1, iscomplex= true, default = "kWh/100 mi", link = "Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent", }, } return { extra_units = extra_units }
