Template:Infobox person/weight is one of three templates used to automatically add conversions of weight measurements displayed by Template:Infobox person and other infoboxes with a |{{#if:weight|weight=}} parameter.

Template:Infobox person/weight changes text for units of weight to the abbreviations "kg", "lb", or "st", then passes the string to:
Template:Infobox person/weight/locate which replaces any instances of   with a space, and determines the positions of "kg", "lb", or "st" within that string, all of which is passed to:
Template:Infobox person/weight/switch which does the conversion
