Template:AUDConvert

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Purpose

The purpose of this template is to automatically convert and format Australian dollars applying adjustment for inflation where appropriate. Rates of exchange and inflation must be manually copied by editors in the supporting templates therefore this template's output does not necessarily reflect the present exchange rates or price indices but, rather, reflects the rates and indices at the time of the last update.

The default target currency (USD at present) may change in the future.

The possibility of converting to other target currencies in the future is left open, hence the general name of this template.

Usage

Parameters

A description of the template's parameters are listed below.

Field name	Usage	Example	Description
value	mandatory	10000.01	The value, in the country_code currency, that needs to be converted. The template will not accept pre-formatted values (i.e. 1,234).
currency_units	optional	m	Used to represent smaller or larger numbers. Available options are as follows. ct – to represent cent(s) p – to represent penny (pence) pa – to represent paisa (paise) (generalized to mean cents) po – to represent poysha (generalized to mean cents) ba – to represent baisa(s) (generalized to mean 1/1000) k – to represent thousand(s) m – to represent million(s) b – to represent short scale billion(s) t – to represent short scale trillion(s) l – to represent lakh(s) c – to represent crore(s) lc – to represent lakh crore(s) Brackets in the sense may be singular (or) plural. The Indian units can be applied to any currency.
lk	optional	lk=on	This parameter gives you the option of internally linking currency names (paise, which is generalized here to mean cents in the source currency) and/or number names (billion, trillion, lakh, crore). By default, the parameter is set to "off" (i.e. it is set not to link). Available options are as follows. on – to link all units source – to link the source value original – to link the values in the original currency inflated – to link the inflated value in the original currency result – to link the inflated and converted vales converted – to link the converted value source-converted – to link the source and converted values
year	optional	year=2002	This parameter allows entering values from previous years. The year will be displayed and historic values will be inflated to the latest year available in {{Inflation}} if index is also provided then converted by {{ToUSD}}. If no index name is present, the conversion will be attempted for the year indicated (but see force). If year is not provided, just a conversion will be performed at the most current rate available.
to	optional	to=EUR	This parameter allows for conversion to various different currencies. Currently, the USD (default) and the euro are supported.
r	optional	r=3	Sets the digits to which the results must be rounded. A negative value indicates rounding to an upper significant digit, and a positive value indicates a fractional digit including trailing zeros. Defaults to 2.
force	optional	force=yes	This parameter allows to force a conversion at the most current rate available when data is lacking for the provided year when its value is yes.
exact	optional	exact=source	This provides some control over formatting. source requests to display the input value normally (in American fashion) after applying the units. on does this for both the input and result values. Otherwise all values will be displayed as per {{Format price}}.
showdate	optional	showdate=no	This allows to disable displaying the original year.
ref	optional	ref=<ref>some wikitext ref</ref>	This allows displaying one or more references next to the original value. Each one must consist of a ref wikitext element.
mode	optional	mode=historical	This parameter controls the output mode. Setting it to blank or omitting it results in the default mode. Setting it to historical allows conversion using historical exchange rates.
convert	optional	convert=no	This parameter controls the currency conversion. Setting it to blank or omitting it results in the default mode. Setting it to no disables it.

Template parameters

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Value	1	The value, in the source, that needs to be converted. The template will not accept pre-formatted values (i.e. 1,234). Example 500000000	Number	required
Currency units	2	Use this to represent larger numbers such as crores, billions et al. Example c, lc, b, m, k, cr, p, pa, po, ba	Line	suggested
Linking	lk	Gives option to whether link currency names (paise, etc.) or number names (crores, lakhs, billions, trillions) Example on, off, source, original, inflated, result, converted, source-converted	Line	suggested
Year	year	This parameter allows for inflation. Historic values will be inflated to the most current values available then converted. Example 2015	Number	suggested
To	to	This parameter allows for conversion to various different currencies. The USD (default) and the euro are currently supported. Default USD Example EUR	Unknown	optional
Rounding digits	r	Used to round significant digits. A value of "0" will drop paise or cent values from the converted number. By default the conversion will be rounded to two significant figures. Example 0	Number	optional
Force	force	This parameter allows to force a conversion at the most current rate available when data is lacking for the provided year when its value is "yes". Example yes	Line	optional
Exact	exact	This provides some control over formatting. "source" requests to display the input value normally (in American fashion) after applying the units. "on" does this for both the input and result values. Otherwise all values will be displayed as per Format price. Example source, on	Line	optional
Show date	showdate	This allows to disable displaying the original year. Example no	Line	optional
References	ref	This allows displaying one or more references next to the original value. Each one must consist of a ref wikitext element. Example <ref>some wikitext ref</ref>	Content	suggested
Mode	mode	This parameter allows for the control of the output mode. Currently, blank (default) and historical are supported. In historical mode, conversions are performed using a historical exchange rate, for the year supplied. Default (blank) Example historical	Line	optional
Convert	convert	This parameter controls the currency conversion. Setting it to blank or omitting it results in the default mode. Setting it to <code>no</code> disables it. Default (blank) Example no	Line	optional
