Template talk:Temperature

Genesis
In its original incarnation temperature was a conversion template. However, it was generally disused, with most editors seeming to prefer the more feature-rich and (as of the Nov 07) pre-expand slim convert. The archive contains discussions pertaining to the template's former guise.

Last week the few existant transclusions of the template were moved over to undefined undefined and the template was reassigned as an conversion formulae infobox/table for use on temperature scale articles. The new template replaced the following single-use templates.


 * Rømer conversion
 * Réaumur conversion
 * Newton conversion
 * Delisle conversion
 * Rankine conversion
 * Fahrenheit conversion
 * Kelvin conversion
 * Celsius conversion‎

These are currently up for deletion, however, their histories and talk pages are preserved on the following respective subpages of this template.


 * temperature/Ro/int
 * temperature/Re/int
 * temperature/N/int
 * temperature/De/int
 * temperature/R/int
 * temperature/F/int
 * temperature/K/int
 * temperature/C/int

Unicode symbol
We meet again, Jimp! These templates all use the Unicode compatibility character U+2103 (℃) instead of the proper U+00B0 + U+0043 (°C). (Oddly, the template doesn't use the Unicode characters for degrees Fahrenheit or kelvins.) Such characters are proscribed by the Unicode standard and were only included for backwards compatibility purposes. This falls under the same argument I made with regards to the Unicode superscripts a few weeks ago. Unlike the precomposed superscripts, which solved a display problem, I don't think there's any good reason for using this character. It's a font/aesthetic problem and a technical problem. I'd like to fix it if you don't mind. —Werson (talk) 01:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Réaumur
Please look at Réaumur temperature conversion formulae. In first line Re = C x 4/5 and example 1 Re = 5/4 C. One of them must be wrong! Gryphonis (talk) 12:45, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
