I'm guessing this is a rounding error somewhere. On the wikipedia page for the shortfin mako shark, the tag "{{convert|1.82|-|3.2|m}}" is rendered as "1.82–3.2 metres (5 ft 12 in–10 ft 6 in)" ("5 ft 12 in" should be "6 ft")
{{convert}} is a template on the english wikipedia, not a feature of the MediaWiki software. this issue is best addressed on [[Template talk:Convert]].
That is most likely caused by the php/maths rounding stuff on the server side compared to a template issue :)
No it's not, because {{convert|1.82|m}} renders correctly; one code path is correct, the other is broken somewhere in some template. This is entirely enwiki's problem; at the worst, they're not consistently using the tools we've made available to deal with php/maths rounding stuff. Even in the unlikely event that it is a server issue, this bug should only be reopened when they have dug the actual problem out of the 2,400 Convert subtemplates and can show a simple testcase. "{{#expr: something / horribly - edgecasey }} gives rounding errors" is a valid bug. "A wiki template doesn't give the results I'd expect" is not.
