This is a documentation subpage for ഫലകം:Miles-chains.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ഫലകം page.

Converts distances measured in miles and chains to kilometres, linking to chain (length) without linking miles. This is to conform to WP:OVERLINK, which states that common units of length should not be linked. However, chains are not familiar to many readers, and therefore a link is provided.

This template is designed to mimic the function of the {{convert}} template, which is currently unable to make selective links.

Usage

{{miles-chains|4|mi|72|chain|km}} produces 4 miles 72 chains (7.89 km)

Note that the parameters mi, chain and km are redundant in this template, but are provided to make conversion to the {{convert}} template easier if selective linking is ever implemented.
