Line 165:

* [[:Category:Convert error]]

* [[:Category:Convert dimension mismatch]]

* [[:Category:Convert invalid option]]

* [[:Category:Convert unknown unit]]

:Parent:* [[:Category:Convert errorinvalid categoriesoption]] (warnings not errors)

:Parent: [[:Category:Convert error categories]] (not used by module, for category grouping only)

I propose name changes:

Line 173:

# Be more descriptive: "Pages with a convert dimension mismatch". This name is longer and less easy, but it is correct to the letter and is according to most maintenance pages. The short names are only usefull for more experienced editors in the topic (you and me), but are sort of code/jargon. Johnuniq replied earlier [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Johnuniq&diff=573758819&oldid=573743095 here].

Proposed names:

:Parent:# [[:Category:Pages with conversion messageserrors]]

*# [[:Category:Pages with conversion errorsdimension mismatches]]

*# [[:Category:Pages with conversionunknown dimensionconversion mismatchesunits]]

*# [[:Category:Pages with invalid conversion options]]

*#Parent: [[:Category:Pages with unknown conversion unitsmessages]]

::Changed into double plurals ("Pages ... errors") copying the CS1 example [[:Category:Articles with incorrect citation syntax]]. -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 12:27, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

:::See [[Template_talk:Convert#Edit_request_on_20_September_2013]] about how to present the error messages. If we choose the Wikid77 proposal (add superscript link, not the colored inline text), we could use the following corresponding maintenance links;

::#:

::# ^{[[[Help:Convert#Conversion error|conversion error]]]}

::# ^{[[[Help:Convert#Dimension mismatch|dimension mismatch]]]}

::# ^{[[[Help:Convert#Unknown unit|unknown unit]]]}

::# no superscript link (or ^{[[[Help:Convert#Unknown option|unknown option]]]})

:::This way we have a triangular connection between message, category and help page section. -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 13:24, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
