Introduction

[edit]

If imperial units are listed first, this script flips the words around to put metric first.

Examples

[edit]

this script turns

  • 55 miles (89 km)
  • 500 feet (150 m)
  • 95 °F (35 °C)
  • 2.8 inches (71 mm)

into (respectively)

  • 89 kilometres (55 mi)
  • 150 metres (500 ft)
  • 35 °C (95 °F)
  • 71 millimetres (2.8 in)

Installation (English Wikipedia)

[edit]
importScript("User:Thespaceface/MetricFirst.js");

American Spelling Variant

[edit]

There is an alternate version for this script that uses US Spelling standards (e.g., "Kilometer" vs. "Kilometre")

To Install that:

importScript("User:Thespaceface/MetricFirstAmericanSpelling.js");

Notes

[edit]
  • This script is not complete
  • This script only works when both units are listed
  • Numbers have to be written as digits
