Instructions
- The template is intended for conversion of heights specified in either feet and inches, or metric units (centimetres or metres). Metric units are converted to feet and inches, and feet and inches are converted to metres, or optionally to centimetres.
- As this template is intended for use in infoboxes, the units on both sides of the conversion are abbreviated by default. When using this template outside of infoboxes, use theabbrparameter, which can take values ofyes(default; both sides of the conversion are abbreviated),no(both sides of the conversion are spelled out), ormos(WP:MOSNUM-compliant format, where the units being converted are spelled out and the units of the converted values are abbreviated).
- For conversion of metric units to feet/inches, thefracparameter can be specified to either show the output inches as decimals (frac=10) or as a vulgar fraction (frac=desired denominator; the default is 2 for halves). Thefracparameter is ignored for conversion of feet/inches to metres.
- When decimal output is used, the default precision is 1 for metres-to-feet/inches conversion and 2 for feet/inches-to-metres conversion, but it can be overridden by specifying a different figure using theprecisionparameter (see example below). Theprecisionparameter is ignored whenfracis set to anything but 10.
- wikiparameter specifies whether the names of the units should be wikified or not and can take values of eitheryesorno.The default value isno.
- Use
|out=cm
with input values in feet and inches to output the conversion as centimetres.

The template is intended for conversion of heights specified in either metres or in feet and inches.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Metres | m metre metres meter meters | The height in metres. Do not use if feet and inches are specified. | Number | optional |
Centimetres | cm centimetre centimetres centimeter centimeters | The height in centimetres. Do not use if feet and inches are specified. | Number | optional |
Feet | ft foot feet | The feet part of the height in feet and inches. Do not use if centimetres are specified. | Number | optional |
Inches | in inch inches | The inches part of the height in feet and inches (optional). Do not use if centimetres are specified. Fractions are supported in the form u+n/d. | Number | optional |
Precision of converted value | precision | The amount of decimal places to display the converted value to. Defaults to 2 for feet and inches to metres and to 1 for metres/centimetres to feet and inches. | Number | optional |
Fraction denominator | frac | Shows result as a fraction. The number in this parameter is the denominator of the fraction. Used only for metres/centimetres to feet and inches. Set to "10" for decimals. Defaults to 2 (halves). | Number | optional |
Abbreviation style | abbr | Changes abbreviation style. Set to "yes" for all units to be abbreviated (default), "no" for all to be spelled out, or "mos" for the units being converted to be spelled out and the converted units to be abbreviated. | String | optional |
Unit linking | wiki | Changes whether units are linked. Set to "no" to not link units (default) or "yes" to link units. | String | optional |
Output format | out | Changes output format of conversion. Set to "cm" with input values in feet and inches to output the conversion as centimetres. No other options currently exist and the template ignores anything other than "cm". | String | optional |
