Template:ExposureTimeBeautifier

Template documentation[ view · edit · history · purge ]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:ExposureTimeBeautifier/doc.

This template transforms exposure time values extracted from the EXIF tags of an image into a format that matches the existing category system on Wikimedia Commons and looks much cleaner.

Usage

{{ExposureTimeBeautifier |1= }}

Corrections performed by the template:

• Force decimal notation for values greater than 1.
• Round to one digit after the decimal mark.
• Try reducing the fraction. Only tests for division by the value of the numerator, by 2 and by 5 are performed, as by far the most common numerator in EXIF exposure time data apart from 1 is 10.

Division by zero is caught, nothing is shown at all for values at or below 0.
