Template talk:Scinote

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Test

Scinote was tested in WT:SAND against {{X1}}, where {{X1}} was as below.



Scinote's post-expand include size was significantly lower, neither template used expensive parser functions (as of 9 Apr 08, #ifexist and {{PAGESINCATEGORY}}), on other counts X1 did slightly better. Scinote's range was greater than that of X1 but this was simply due to the current limits of {{10^}} (an easy fix if ever needed). JЇѦρ 02:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
