- SI units generally accept prefixes, like "m" for micro (10−3), and "M" for mega (106)
- For "per" units, use "/" (slash): kg/ha
- For three-unit units etc.: see Category:Convert-like templates
Unit name or symbol (abbreviation): 1 pound or 1 lb?
By default, the first quantity shows unit name, the second shows the symbol (or abbreviation):

Convenience: {{cvt}} has |abbr=on by default
Template {{cvt}} is the same as {{convert}}, except that it has |abbr=on as the default behaviour. In {{cvt}}, all other options are available. So:
{{cvt|1|lb|kg}}→ 1 lb (0.45 kg)
is equivalent to:
{{convert|1|lb|kg|abbr=on}}→ 1 lb (0.45 kg)
Adjective: a 10-mile distance

|mm= cm= mi= miles (Expression error: Unrecognised word "ae". m). In practical use, it is common to round the calculated metric number. With that, there are several possibilities.
Default rounding
By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the same if the factor is between 0.2 and 2, is decreased by 1 if it is between 2 and 20, and so on) or to two significant figures, whichever is more precise. An exception to this is rounding temperatures (see below).

Convert supports four types of rounding:
Round to a given precision: use a precision number
Specify the desired precision with the fourth unnamed parameter (or third unnamed parameter if the "convert to" parameter is omitted; or fifth unnamed parameter if a range is specified; or fourth unnamed parameter again if a range is specified and the "convert to" parameter is omitted; needs to be replaced with a "precision" named parameter). The conversion is rounded off to the nearest multiple of 1⁄10 to the power of this number. For instance, if the result is 8621 and the round number is "-2", the result will be 8600. If the result is "234.0283043" and the round number is "0", the result will be 234.
Round to a given number of significant figures: |sigfig=
To specify the output number to be with n significant figures use |sigfig=<number>:

The precision of the input number in example (2) is six, so the precision of the Fahrenheit output is, whereas before, Kelvins had determined it to be three. Examples (3) and (4) show how this can be hidden and generate questions, but it occurs there because the Kelvins conversion generated two fractional parts. (Before it was the input number that generated the fractional part.) In example (3) the three input digits converted into five significant output digits because of the two digits after the decimal point, generated by the Kelvins conversion. This happened again in (5), but in (6) decimal fractions were neither given as input nor induced by the Kelvins conversion.
Rounding input
There is limited support for rounding the displayed input number. The rounding tales place after conversion, so the output is based on the full-precision input. This is useful when the input is produced by {{#expr:}} or otherwise available to a higher precision than is usefully displayed, and it's desirable to avoid double-rounding.
To round the input to a specified number of digits after the decimal point, use one of the parameters:
|adj=ri0|adj=ri1|adj=ri2|adj=ri3
Note that there is no |adj=ri-1Red X or similar for rounding above the decimal place. Neither is there support for significant figures, multiples of 5, or any other output-rounding feature.
The default precision is computed based on the input, so an explicit output precision must usually be supplied:

Scientific notation: 1.23 × 10−14
In scientific notation, a number is written like 1.23×10−14. The plain number has exactly one digit before the decimal point.
With {{convert}}, the input can be in e-notation such as 12.3e4. This value is displayed as a power of ten, and the output is displayed in scientific notation, except that an output value satisfying 0.01 <= v < 1000 is shown as a normal number. In addition, if the output value is 1000 and sigfig=4 is used, the value is displayed as a normal number.

Table options
For the wikitable structure, there are three options: add a line-break, split the result over columns and make the table sortable.
Enforced line break
|disp=br adds a line-break and omits brackets.
|disp=br() adds a line-break and does add brackets to the converted value. This may be useful in tables:
|disp=br |
|disp=br()

Table columns showing numbers only
Using {convert} in a table cell, with |disp=table splits the result over two columns:
{{convert|10|m|ft|disp=table}}→{{nowrap|10 {{#ifeq:{{{abbr}}}|on|m | {{#switch: |on=[[{{#switch: m

Sorting
Use |sortable=on to include a hidden numerical sortkey in the output, suitable for use in a table with sortable columns. Technically, this places a hidden string before the actual displayed values:
{{convert|10|m|ft|sortable=on}}→ <span style="display:none">7001100000000000000</span>10 metres (33 ft)
Use both |disp=table and |sortable=on together to produce table columns (pipe symbols) for each value in sortable columns:
m ft A 15+3/4 {{#ifeq:{{{abbr}}}|on|m | {{#switch: |on=[[{{#switch: m AU= astronomical unit astronomical units4wyw;4o feet yards on inches}} millimetres centimetres metres }} square yards ea5jeaujasquare metres ={{#switch:ae5jajheaj5eajaej m AU= astronomical units ft= feet yd= yards in= inches mm= cm= mi= miles (17.460629925 ft) B 15.5 {{#ifeq:{{{abbr}}}|on|m | {{#switch: |on=[[{{#switch: m AU= astronomical unit astronomical units4wyw;4o feet yards on inches}} millimetres centimetres metres }} square yards ea5jeaujasquare metres ={{#switch:ae5jajheaj5eajaej m AU= astronomical units ft= feet yd= yards in= inches mm= cm= mi= miles (50.85301845 ft) C 16.0 {{#ifeq:{{{abbr}}}|on|m | {{#switch: |on=[[{{#switch: m AU= astronomical unit astronomical units4wyw;4o feet yards on inches}} millimetres centimetres metres }} square yards ea5jeaujasquare metres ={{#switch:ae5jajheaj5eajaej m AU= astronomical units ft= feet yd= yards in= inches mm= cm= mi= miles (52.4934384 ft) D 16 {{#ifeq:{{{abbr}}}|on|m | {{#switch: |on=[[{{#switch: m AU= astronomical unit astronomical units4wyw;4o feet yards on inches}} millimetres centimetres metres }} square yards ea5jeaujasquare metres ={{#switch:ae5jajheaj5eajaej m AU= astronomical units ft= feet yd= yards in= inches mm= cm= mi= miles (52.4934384 ft)
The generated sortkey is calculated in a consistent way based on both the value and its unit as passed to the convert template. In most cases convert uses the passed value converted to SI base units. It is therefore not necessarily the displayed value or other alternate units and is calculated regardless of output format options. Using different units or different order of units in individual rows should therefore not lead to incorrect sorting, although variations in rounding can give surprising results, since an unrounded number is used for the sortkey.

Units of difference: 10 °C higher; how much in °F
When a number is the measurement for a difference, one conversion is done. This may occur in temperatures (°C, °F, K). Compare this to a range, when two conversions are done.
The only available units of difference are: |C-change=, |F-change= and |K-change=.

Using convert inside templates
For usage in template code, like infoboxes, {{Convert}} has these options:
- Pre-formatting fraction input
- Module:Convert/helper can read regular input and pre-format it into {{Convert}}-accepted input.
- Your template can accept
|input=16 7/8and use {{#invoke:Convert/helper|number|16 7/8}} → 16+7/8
- Using a Wikidata property
- Adding the Wikidata property code, like code
|input=P2073, to your template code automatically returns the Wikidata property for that article, and convert it. Both number and unit are read.
Note: to return that property value for an other article, use |qid=.
Example for Lua error in Module:Wikibase at line 40: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P2073):
Note: this example uses |qid=Q1056131 (testing for Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (Q1056131))
