Now that tpt has the option to adjust temperature from mertic to imperial and vice-versa, the reaction and spawn temperatures in the wiki should have fahrenheit counterparts alongside them, so users who want to use fahrenheit know what temperature to set certain elements in their saves. We should also add kelvin counterparts to wiki entries that have none, for the same reason but for users who want to use kelvin.

cant wait for anyone from mods/devs to respond here with "do it yourself because wiki is edited by users" or something in that style lol

Well, shoot, looks like I've just responded with that ;)

Celsius and Kelvin are easy to convert - Kelvin is simply 273.15 less than Celsius, so this isn't really needed. The Lua console has a built-in calculator that can be used for this. Idk why you'd want to use Kelvin, though.

As for Fahrenheit, it's dumb (just like the rest of the imperial measurement system lol) so you wouldn't want to use it.

P.S. The wiki is free to edit, I'm pretty sure, so if you want it done that much, you could change it yourself.

There is a solution to this already (or at least, there used to be).

There is a template you can use where you give it the temperature in Kelvin, and it displays it in Celsius with a popup for F / K displays. The template is here:
https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Template:Temperature.html

The popup on hover doesn't work for me though, so perhaps it was broken. This template is used to display spawn and transition temperature in every element's infobox.

If you are going to do anything, change the wiki to use this template. I'll reject any changes that try to manually add in Fahrenheit to the wiki, as the game displays in Celsius by default.

Edit: It briefly started working for me again, although then broke. I can't debug right now why it only works sporadically. But anyway, here is how it looks:

The Imperial system is not dumb; you don't have to use it, but other people including myself really enjoy it. Here's 1 negative vote for cultural insensitivity. -1
