Convert in tables
I noticed your edits at List of the largest stations in Australia. I haven't had time to examine what was intended but I think the intention was to show size in km2 and square miles. The correct procedure is explained at Help:Convert. There should only be one convert for each entry. With the correct parameter, the one convert will output two columns. If you want some help, please reply here and I'll have a closer look. Johnuniq (talk) 09:52, 27 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the offer of help. I believe I have completed what I was attempting. I added the third column of acres. This will help some people really understand the enormity of Australian cattle stations. I also fixed up a few issues from someone elses previous edit. Andrew1au (talk) 02:52, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your edits. Properly using convert in tables is difficult. I didn't have any spare time when I posted before but I have now fixed the article to use one convert per row. That simplifies the wikitext and makes it a lot more reliable because the area value only needs to be entered once per row, rather than three times. Johnuniq (talk) 06:38, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
