Type:Measurement takes numerical values and units for denoting linear measurements.

To allow users to enter values in different units of measurement, this page specifies several custom unit for this datatype:

* [[corresponds to::1 cm, centimetre]] * [[corresponds to::10 mm, millilitre]] * [[corresponds to::0.393700787401575 in, ", inch]] * [[corresponds to::0.032808399 ft, ', foot]] * [[corresponds to::0.01 m, metre]]

  • 0.1 cm, centimetre
  • 1 mm, millilitre
  • 0.0393700787401575 in, ", inch
  • 0.0032808399 ft, ', foot
  • 0.001 m, metre

Editors can add more units and alternative representations. To allow users to enter units in several forms, you add alternate representations separated by commas; for example this datatype supports "squared" using <sup>2</sup> or a Unicode character.

The main unit is the first unit with 1:1 correspondence; for this datatype it is m². In the factbox and inline queries, values display converted into this unit first (unless a property specifies different display units).
