Convert
I'm just passing through and am happy for you or anyone else maintaining this article to decide whether to show metric or imperial first. However, I have strong opinions about conv. There are two useful convert templates: For example: Using is not useful because it is the same as  but offers a trivial saving in typing. The problem with is that it causes confusion since it makes people wonder what it is and whether there is a difference from  and which "should" be used. Please decide which of and  is wanted and use that. Johnuniq (talk) 02:20, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * convert is standard (1.1 million transclusions).
 * cvt is the same but sets  (97,800 transclusions).
 * → 18 km
 * → 18 km


 * Personally, I prefer the shorthand to undefined undefined, and am probably going to keep using it in future. I will however now change all of the  templates on this page to undefined undefined :)  Xx78900 (talk) 10:53, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You might consider whether using a very rarely used abbreviation is worthwhile. The main problem is the confusion due to people not knowing what conv is (whereas convert is self-explanatory), along with the problem that cvt, while mysterious, does something useful and sometimes editors use conv when they mean cvt.
