Template:Infobox person/weight is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of weight measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |weight=
parameter.
- Template:Infobox person/weight changes text for units of weight to the abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st", then passes the string to:
- Template:Infobox person/weight/locate which replaces any instances of
with a space, and determines the positions of "kg", "lb", or "st" within that string, all of which is passed to: - Template:Infobox person/weight/switch which does the conversion

{{Infobox person/weight|{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}}}
→ 108.1 kg (238.3 lb)- compare to:
{{convert|108.1|kg|lb|1|abbr=off}}
