Conversions
The use of slashes for separating conversions has been discussed for years at the convert template talk page. In the context of numbers and units, slashes normally represent division; so what's 127 mm/5 in? It would be 1, right? What's 12 km/h/3.3 m/s/11 ft/s? The template used to use slashes within brackets for multiple conversions (e.g. knots to km/h & mph). It was agreed that this was unsatisfactory (even described as "asinine") and that they've got to go. These slash was replaced with the (more satisfactory but still imperfect) semicolon. However, this only affected multiple conversions within brackets; input and output units could still be separated by a slash using,   or. It was concluded that this was no more desirable than the slashes separating multiple conversions and mention of the option was removed from the doc page. There are relatively few pages using the slash option and I've yet to come across a single one where it's really warranted (this one included). The template is well overdue for a revamp and having three different ways of producing an undesirable result doesn't seem like a feature worth keeping. Slashes can still be inserted using  in case you really do want them. Using "or" in infoboxes might not be perfect, it may even be "terrible", but slashes aren't the answer in my view. Instead of a slash I'd rather see a comma or even a semicolon (for consistency with those in the multiple conversions already in the infobox). J IM ptalk·cont 04:39, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
