So this is a first for me. I don't know what type of programing language fandom uses so I don't know how to exactly go about setting up this template. Anyway heres what I'm working with:

I'm trying to update a template so that it calculates profit over time. to give players a better understand of what the best items to make. Currently in the template they have time is set up liek this:

time=0.01:00

Now I have 2 coices A I have people from now on multiple out what the time it would take to do a task in seconds IE if it takes 15 minutes they would in input 900 for the time. However I then have to deal with a long series of moding. out the time in order to display it like it currently is and it would be a pain for new people to update the page going forward.

Option 2 and the most user friendly on the update side. pull out the vaulues based on the location in the value submitted. for example lets say time is 10.15:00 thats 10 hours and 15 minutes. I would first take the 10 multiple it by 3600 and get the number of hours in seconds. and then I would multiple 15 by 60 and get the number of minutes in seconds. heres the issue I don't know what language fandom uses so I don't know how to make divide up charecters.

Anyone have a sugestion on this?
