Operator: Erik9 (talk)

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Manually started, performs edits automatically.

Programming Language(s): Uses AWB with autosave function

Function Overview: Correction of invocations of template:convert to express engine displacements in articles about motor vehicles, as requested here, such that only a single metric unit is displayed.

Edit period(s): continuous, as needed

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Certain articles in subcategories of Category:Car classifications express engine displacements with redundant metric units -- eg, {{convert|1796|cc|L cuin||abbr=on}}, which produces 1,796 cc (1.796 L; 109.6 cu in). This task would remove such redundancies per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Automobiles/Conventions#Conventions, such that only a single metric unit is displayed. The example above would be changed to {{convert|1796|cc|cuin||abbr=on}}, which produces 1,796 cc (109.6 cu in).
