Height template
- where does WP:UNITS specify the template we use? The source and the units use match... GiantSnowman 19:41, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Per the relevant passages of WP:UNITS, "In non-scientific articles relating to the United Kingdom... ...the primary units for personal height and weight are feet​/inches and stones/​pounds". Using the convert template enables that while abiding by sources that give heights in metric.  Don't see what the issue is. Mattythewhite (talk) 19:48, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You know as well as I do that we do not use that rule at WT:FOOTY (particularly given that the infobox supports NO template...) GiantSnowman 19:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think I do... unless I'm missing something, this is news to me. I don't get why a WikiProject should be exempt from a MoS that is intended to apply project wide.  And reading the template documentation, it states that the infobox should display "The player's height in the units most common within the country he or she plays", which would be feet/inches in Mr Marquis' case.  The documentation also states that the infobox "supports automatic conversion", but that doesn't mean we should use automatic conversion if it means the appropriate primary unit is compromised.
