module:convert/extra

-- Extra conversion data used by Module:Convert.

--

-- Module:Convert/data defines all units and is transcluded in all pages

-- where Module:Convert is used. Testing new units by editing that module

-- would invalidate the cache for all affected pages.

--

-- For quick changes and experiments with new units, this module can be edited.

-- Since this module is transcluded in only a small number of pages, changes

-- should cause little server overhead and should propagate quickly.

--

-- If a unit is defined in the data module, any definition here is ignored,

-- so defining the same unit in both modules is not an error.

-- A unit defined here can refer to units that are also defined here, and

-- can refer to units defined in the data module.

--

-- Periodically, those extra units that are wanted permanently can be removed

-- from here after being added to Module:Convert/data.
