This request duplicates the 'units of measure' section of
Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Lightbot 3. That BRFA was very similar to the two previous approvals:
Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Lightbot and
Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Lightbot 2.
A relevant guideline is at:
The guideline is stable and has existed in various forms for a long time. Other editors and I have done many edits along these lines over a long period. Examples of such conversions exist in contributions list but it would be easier just to demonstrate with new edits.
Edit period(s): Multiple runs. Often by batch based on preprocessed list of selected target articles.
Estimated number of pages affected: Individual runs of tens, or hundreds, or thousands.
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes, will comply with 'nobots'

Please can we move to a 50 edit trial? Lightmouse ( talk) 10:46, 16 April 2011 (UTC) reply

I've been doing lots of pages with lengths but omitting weights. Please can we make progress on this to reduce the requirement for multiple passes? Lightmouse ( talk) 15:42, 9 June 2011 (UTC) reply
Approved for extended trial (50). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. I'd approve, but I want to see how the new code works before doing so.

Trial complete. Done. See
contributions. Summary is L14. Contains at least one unit of mass. Avoiding 'foot pounds', 'pounds force', 'pounds per square inch' is almost the same effort as converting them properly. I'll create an application for 'units of torque, force, and pressure' unless you want to make them in scope of this one. What do you think? Regards

Trial complete.Done. I've tried to make it add conversions where usage was 'sciency' but it wasn't always easy to confine it to just that. If you want me to have another go, I can. See
contributions as of now. Edit summary is L14b. Contains at least one unit of mass. Regards

Trial complete. Done. See
contributions as of now. Edit summary is L14. ounce or L14. ton. As I expected, these involved almost a lot of time/effort to set up and involved a lot of human involvement during operation to capture the various versions of the units and avoid false positives. I'm hoping the trials have demonstrated the actual and potential capabilities.
