Template:Infobox person/weight
Template documentationTemplate:Infobox person is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of weight measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |weight= parameter.
- Template:Infobox person/weight changes text for units of weight to the abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st", then passes the string to:
- Template:Infobox person/weight/locate which replaces any instances of
with a space, and determines the positions of "kg", "lb", or "st" within that string, all of which is passed to: - Template:Infobox person/weight/switch which does the conversion
Usage
{{Template:Infobox person/weight|1 kilogram}}→ 1 kg (2 lb){{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kilograms}}→ 108 kg (238 lb){{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kgs}}→ 108 kg (238 lb){{Template:Infobox person/weight|1 pound}}→ 1 lb (0 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 pounds}}→ 238 lb (108 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 lbs}}→ 238 lb (108 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|1 stone}}→ 1 st (14 lb; 6 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|17 sts}}→ 17 st (238 lb; 108 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|108kilograms}}→ 108 kg (238 lb){{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 pounds}}→ 238 lb (108 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kgs (2012)}}→ 108 kg (238 lb) (2012){{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 lbs (2012)<ref>citation goes here</ref>}}→ 238 lb (108 kg) (2012)[1]

Exceptions
Does not replace numbers in hard-coded conversions (examples intentionally show incorrect conversions), but does replace units with abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st":
{{Template:Infobox person/weight|108 kilograms (229 pounds)}}→ 108 kg (229 lb){{Template:Infobox person/weight|238 pounds (119 kilograms)}}→ 238 lb (119 kg){{Template:Infobox person/weight|17 stone (229 pounds; 119 kilograms)}}→ 17 st (229 lb; 119 kg)
Does not replace numeric output of conversion templates such as {{convert}} (examples have precision different than usual), but does replace units with abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st":
{{Template:Infobox person/weight|{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}}}→ 108.1 kg (238.3 lb)- compare to:
{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}→ 108.1 kilograms (238.3 pounds)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/weight|{{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}}}→ 238.2 lb (108.05 kg)- compare to:
{{convert|238.2|lb|kg|2|abbr=off}}→ 238.2 pounds (108.05 kilograms)
- compare to:
{{Template:Infobox person/weight|{{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}}}→ 17.3 st (242.2 lb; 109.9 kg)- compare to:
{{convert|17.3|st|1|abbr=off}}→ 17.3 stone (242.2 pounds; 109.9 kilograms)
