Module:Convert/text
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This page defines text used by Module:Convert. All documentation (from Module:Convert/doc) is at that module. The text includes messages and categories output by the module, and parameters used as input.
This is a separate module to simplify translation for use on another wiki. For example, see translation_table and the other tables in bn:Module:Convert/text. Documentation is at Template:Convert/Transwiki guide.
Any changes should first be tested at Module:Convert/text/sandbox—see Template:Convert/testcases#Sandbox testcases.
