Overhaul

[edit]

I went looking for a volume template, saw that this had been userspaced as "not ready for prime-time", so I just overhauled it:

  • Now has documentation.
  • Produces useful output by default.
  • Produces the original highly specialized table output as a parameter options
  • Supports multiple levels of rounding.
  • Is categorized as a maths function template.
  • Lives in the "Template:" namespace again.

It should probably be "See also" linked from some other places, and added to lists of maths calculation templates, but I dunno about that stuff; I'll drop a note over at WT:MATHS.

It should likely also be upgraded further to support both units and conversion, though I've documented some workarounds in the interim.

PS: It's also just doing cubic volume basic calculation, not anything like converting L×W×D/H into gallons or whatever.
