Template talk:Temperature/De/int

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I hadn't seen this one yet, when I said that Template:Rankine conversion is one of the more asinine and useless uses of a template I have seen. This is far worse; at least some people might have reason to convert to degrees Rankine, and I cannot imagine why anybody would need formulas to convert to degrees Delisle.

Well, the formulas were already given in temperature conversion formulas. I just thought it made sense, to have them in the article on the unit/scale, too, and therefore put them into a template to keep them in sync. I agree that it's of very limited use to know how to convert between degrees Rankine and Delisle for example, but it's a matter of consistency IMO. In the German Wikipedia I put them all together into one clumsy template: de:Vorlage:Temperaturumrechnung, but I'm not happy with that one either, because it needs so much space; it's also not yet harmonized with de:Vorlage:Krafteinheiten (base of Template:Units of force), de:Vorlage:Energieeinheiten or de:Vorlage:Druckeinheiten.
