+Parameter Conversion Expiration
+===============================
+
+Parameter conversions are necessary to ensure continuity for users as they upgrade to newer versions of ArduPilot.  However, the conversion process does utilise some resources on boot and does add to the flash cost of the code. 
+Therefore we don't keep the conversion code forever more. To make it easier to find and remove the conversions, please add the following as a comment above any parameter conversion that you add:
+
+::
+
+    // PARAMETER_CONVERSION - Added: Aug-2021
+
+Please use the date format shown above to avoid ambiguity.  Please also keep the date on the same line as the key word "PARAMETER_CONVERSION" so that the date can be seen in the return, when grep-ing/searching the code.  When adding to an already existing AP_Param::ConversionInfo table, please add the conversions as a new block with the the conversion comment above the new block.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: cpp
+
+    const AP_Param::ConversionInfo q_conversion_table[] = {
+        // PARAMETER_CONVERSION - Added: Jan-2018
+        { Parameters::k_param_quadplane, 4044, AP_PARAM_FLOAT, "Q_P_POSZ_P" },     //  Q_PZ_P
+        { Parameters::k_param_quadplane, 4045, AP_PARAM_FLOAT, "Q_P_POSXY_P"},     //  Q_PXY_P
+        { Parameters::k_param_quadplane, 4046, AP_PARAM_FLOAT, "Q_P_VELXY_P"},     //  Q_VXY_P
+        { Parameters::k_param_quadplane, 78,   AP_PARAM_FLOAT, "Q_P_VELXY_I"},     //  Q_VXY_I
