 * Infobox Paris Network main content

Effectively single-use. Sub-template of Infobox Paris Network (and formerly another template, since deleted) into which it should be Subst:. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:07, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Yet Infobox Paris Network is being used in other articles. Any info on how to Subst: would be welcome, though. Then, effectively, this template can be deleted.  THE PROMENADER  ✎ ✓ 07:48, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That the parent template is being used does not mean that we need to keep this sub-template; the content can be written directly into the main template. To demonstrate this, and test for any issues, I've now Subst: the nominated template into Infobox Paris Network.

 * Brilliant! I wasn't familiar with the term 'Subst:' so thought it involved something more complicated. Thanks.  THE PROMENADER  ✎ ✓ 15:42, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

 * convert/words

This template proposes to do unit conversions based on expressions in words. It deals with both written-out numbers and rough expressions like "a few" and "several". The written-out number functionality is redundant since now has the capacity to spell numbers out. The conversions based on rough expressions are more problematic and often give quite strange results.

A major problem with this template is that the conversion often comes out sounding not so rough. That is, it is giving use false precision (see the talk page for more information).

There seems to be no clear and simple way of avoiding this problem. Rough expressions are not really the kind of thing you convert with a template.Jimp 04:18, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The editor can always spell out the desired wordings, while checking for being sensible. -DePiep (talk) 10:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete "       → a few kilopascals (0.44–0.73 psi) " is one of the examples this page gives, presumably as an example of correct usage. I am not convinced that this sort of conversion is at all likely to be helpful; it's more misleading than anything else. --ais523 16:50, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
