OK thanks! What are these money conversion templates?--Echetus Xe 17:45, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

EchetusXe Thanks for the response! I have seen money conversion templates being used in some similar articles, but I am clueless about their documentation as well. It is not a GA requirement anyway, so we need not mess with that. And I was asking if you have wikilinked "Potters" anywhere. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 18:00, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK cool, would you like me to link "Potters" to Stoke City F.C.?--Echetus Xe 18:03, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, that should be proper. That done, I would be glad to promote this article. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 18:04, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, have done that. Many thanks!--Echetus Xe 22:40, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
