Template:Val/units/doc

Introduction

Val/units specializes in providing easy unit-code system management. Here you can add or alter unit markup and unit wikilink. You can see that the unit "code" is basically the abbreviated unit(s) name, and a dot . to multiply or a slash / to divide dimensions.

If the unit code is not found here, we call {{convert}} with that unit code. {{Convert}} manages thousands of units and recognizes most unit codes you could try. Convert's unit codes are published as a courtesy in a simple list at {{Val/unitsfromconvert}}. For example, {{convert}} has the unit nmi (nautical mile), so we don't list it because its markup and link are incontestable.

But a unit that differs in markup or linking between Val and Convert is not rare. {{Convert}} specializes in units that are converted, so {{Convert}} prefers that C and F are for Celsius and Fahrenheit. Val specializes in all units, but prefers physics, where C and F are for coulomb and farad. Both templates recognize degC and degF.

(See how to add units to {{convert}}.)

Purpose

This Val sub-template translates a unit code to a link and to markup. This happens whenever Val gets a "u" parameter: |u=, |up=, |ul= or |upl=.

The contents of this page show that the purpose of the "unit code" is to translate to a normal wikilink, with the unit's article to left of the pipe, and the unit's markup (possibly using markup templates or HTML) to the right. It's organized by subject.

For each unit this template will:

• display its easily type-able unit code
• show to which article the unit is linked
• configure new or existing units

Here you can even invent your own "unit code". If a unit code you need is not already available, or is not correctly managed, add it here and create its markup and link, as the other entries do. See below for details.

Before removing any Val unit codes, you can check to see how unit codes may or may not be in use on the wiki by employing {{Template usage}}. For example, to see about changing or removing unit code J.s, do a {{tlusage|val|J\.s|0}} → hastemplate:"val" insource:/\{\{ *[Vv]al *\|[^}]*J\.s/ prefix::.

This page is a configuration file, or "config file" made with a switch statement embedded with partial transclusion tags that enables an editor unfamiliar with any template coding to view and edit a configurable template element safely and intuitively. The partial transclusion tags also enable the rendered commentary, all within the switch statement.

Arguments

1	The easily type-able name of the unit. See also {{Val/unitsfromconvert}}
lk	Lowercase letters "L" and "K". Internal parameter. Lk=1 or lk=on, lk=anything, set to any value it always generates lk=off. If not explicitly set it generates lk=on. These are what is required, at times, to call {{Convert}} with its linking turned on or off.

How to add units

Further information: Template:Val § How to add units

To add a unit, or reconfigure one, or to override or repair a unit's linking or markup behavior, edit a section and follow the existing formats in the wikitext, staying inside the closest surrounding pairs of onlyinclude tags.

If you're in a hurry you can just

• add to § Unsorted units below,
• "Show preview" as the test, and
• "Show Changes" as the proof that any changes were intended and accurate, in order to prevent accidents on other pages.

(If you're not in a hurry, you may notice undocumented, extra template code.)

Decide on a keyboard-friendly unit code for the new unit. If it is not obvious, see RFC1345 and the references at the bottom of this page.
|unit code = [[Article|markup]]

1. Start the placement of the new val/units element, inside onlyinclude tags. The opening tag is <onlyinclude> and the closing tag is </onlyinclude>. Do not add these tags yourself unless you are reorganizing the sections. Each section has one pair, and if it has commentary that renders on the, there is another set of onlyinclude tags.
2. For multiplication use an &sdot;. For division use the slash or the unit-inversion form.
3. Consider adding aliases (markup variations) for:
   • capitalization—they're case sensitive
   • division—the -2 version for inverse squared, etc., so we end up with both the slash a/b and inversion ab⁻¹ forms. For example, when adding a unit like m/s, add the m⋅s⁻¹ version as well.
   • multiplication—the* version.
4. Format the line like the others. The sequence—extra whitespace is allowed between parts—is:
   • a pipe character |
   • the unit code
   • the equals sign =
   • the link
5. Show preview to test the appearance.
   • Prove the intended link from the preview. Could it better link to a subsection?
   • Hover the mouse over the link, and read the hover-card or, JavaScript popup, or URL display somewhere in the browser, and see the article title. Does the hover reaction help by hinting about the unit? If it just repeats information, this may mean creating a redirect that will spell out the unit.
   • Is your rendered markup compliant with the Manual of Style?
6. Show changes to prove no inadvertent changes accidentally occurred.
7. Save the page. Saving the page activates the changes immediately, and they go live. You're done adding your unit.

Eventually all new units are added to Template:Val/units/testcases. Go ahead and add it yourself if you'd like.

If you want a unit to add for practice, add one from List of common physics notations, or from SI units#Units and prefixes.

Non-spaced units

These dimensionless units are not part of {{Val/units}} for technical reasons related to the markup for uncertainty notations. A non-spaced unit follows its numeric value without the usual space. To configure these, edit the template for Non-spaced units:

• arcsecond|arcsec|" = ″
• arcminute|arcmin|'|′ = ′

• deg|° = °

• percent|per cent|% = %

• permil|permill|permille|per mil|per mill|per mille|‰ = ‰
