Template:Convertx

This template is being used to diagnose subtemplate nesting to improve the performance of Template:Convert. Do not delete this template without a full AfD process, discussed to reach consensus.

The Template:Convertx is an extension to the standard Wikipedia converter Template:Convert. The intention is to develop new features to be incorporated into the standard version, rather than create a divergent set of similar subtemplates. This is an official template. To test impromptu edits to Template:Convert, instead, use the typical open sandbox area: Template:Convert/sandbox, which allows for general experimentation. In contrast, the various subtemplates under Template:Convertx are used in an official manner to support live articles as new features are approved.

{{Convertx|<num>|<unit>|<newunit>|-2}} - round hundreds

{{Convertx|<n>|<unit1>|<n2>|<unit2>|<newunit>}} -for 2 units
