Good stuff! The problem is breaking backwards compatibility with hundreds of pages. I am currently trying to get pywikibot to work (damn pip includes), so I may be able to do a wiki-wide change. If zero isn't usable later on, then portable infoboxes aren't usable later on ;)

Just a FYI, the values are for temperature (0 degrees). I have asked for the variables extension on the wiki. Once that is in then I could probably do the parsing in the template, with the options you mentioned, so that would work very nicely. That is, if the infobox data tags work with local variables, which they most likely don't :/

Thank you very much for all the great information, I will report back if I get this working.
