Template:Fraction/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Fraction.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 35,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
[[Template:Fraction/doc]]
to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
<noinclude>[[Template:Fraction/doc]]</noinclude>
to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.

This template builds an alternative form of common fractions. The template takes one, two, or three parameters: the optional integer (may be signed), the optional numerator and the required denominator; in this order.

Please do not subst:itute it. This template should also not be used in certain situations; see MOS:FRAC and MOS:MATH § Fractions. For science or mathematical articles, use {{sfrac}} instead. To allow numerical sorting of a column containing fractions, use data-sort-value="X.YYY" where X.YYY is a rounded decimal equivalent. See Help:Sorting for more information and options. Inside citation templates, use the cleaner {{citefrac}}.

{{fraction|A|B|C}}: A+B⁄C (integer, numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|B|C}}: B⁄C (numerator and denominator)
{{fraction|C}}: 1⁄C (denominator only)
{{fraction}}: ⁄ (fraction slash only)

Examples

Numbers: 1⁄2, 1⁄3, 2⁄3, 1⁄4, 3⁄4, 1⁄5, 2⁄5, 3⁄5, 4⁄5, 1⁄6, 5⁄6, 1⁄7, 2⁄7, 3⁄7, 4⁄7, 5⁄7, 6⁄7, 1⁄8, 3⁄8, 5⁄8, 7⁄8, 1⁄16, 3⁄16, 5⁄16, 7⁄16, 9⁄16, 11⁄16, 13⁄16, 15⁄16
Units: m⁄s, km⁄h, kg·m⁄s², 1⁄s, Mbit⁄s

Notes

{{fraction}} or &frasl; may be used to print out the fraction slash glyph " ⁄ ".
For mixed fractions, in some contexts a "+" is generated between the whole number part and fraction part. If this is not desirable, put the whole number part outside the template, and put a non-breaking space between when the spacing is desirable. For example: "33 {{frac|1|3}}".

TemplateData for Fraction

A template for displaying common fractions of the form int+num/den nicely. It supports 0–3 anonymous parameters with positional meaning.

Template parameters
Parameter		Description	Type	Status
leftmost part	`1`	Denominator if only parameter supplied. Numerator if 2 parameters supplied. Integer if 3 parameters supplied. If no parameter is specified the template will render a fraction slash only.	Line	optional
middle-right part	`2`	Denominator if 2 parameters supplied. Numerator if 3 parameters supplied.	Line	optional
rightmost part	`3`	Denominator, always.	Line	optional
