Use of templates

@SCHolar44: Hello Scholar
You should have used template:Convert and template:Track gauge, "ins" for inches is, at best, very unconventional. Peter Horn User talk 00:00, 11 January 2021 (UTC) Peter Horn User talk 00:01, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SCHolar44: What does the s in ins stand for? inch-seconds? The abbreviation ins is of your invention. So, please, don't introduce it to Wikipedia. Peter Horn User talk 15:54, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ins for inches is against MOS:UNITNAMES. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:03, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, PrimeHunter; it has been standard engineering notation in Australia (not nowadays -- we went fully metric in the 1970s) and the UK, but I was unaware of the prescription in MOS:UNITNAMES. Fixed. Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 12:35, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SCHolar44. I have been attended to this issue. Could you describe the problem or your question? Like, what you expect and what do templates give? -DePiep (talk) 23:29, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DePiep, thanks for your interest. When I mentioned "Fixed", above, I was referring to having aligned my annotations to comply with Wikipedia's guidelines, which PrimeHunter kindly pointed out. Cheers, Simon – SCHolar44 🇦🇺 💬 at 07:13, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SCHolar44: Hello,
{{Track gauge|3ft6in|lk=on|comma=off}} 3 ft 6 in (1067 mm) etc is a work in progress and should work soon. Peter Horn User talk 04:15, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
