Description:
Would it be possible to add the Calc mediawiki extension to Wikipedia? I'm a
member of WikiProject Aircraft and it would be extremely beneficial to
automatically generate imperial-to-metric unit conversions (as well as things
like power/weight ratios and wing loading) for aircraft specifications rather
than having to rely on editors manually entering the information (not to mention
that different editors use slightly different conversions with varying degrees
of precision).

I'm making the request assuming the calculations are done client-side. If they
are server-side, I can see how that may create an undue burden on the servers,
and humbly implore for a client-side option to do very simple arithmetic
(division/multiplication with precision to a hundredth would suffice).
