Since this template (and {{ Loss}}) are now appearing in {{ Infobox Country}} templates to indicate an increase or decrease in countries' yearly HDI, perhaps the more generic names {{ Increase}} and {{ Decrease}} might be more suitable for these templates (keeping {{ Profit}} and {{ Loss}} as redirects)...? Regards, David Kernow (talk) 00:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad profit now redirects here, however I would argue for a notice to say not to use {{profit}} at all, because as far as I can see it is being used incorrectly. i.e. when a company makes 200 million in one year and 100 million the next {{profit}} is being used (i.e. to say it is still a positive) when of course decrease should be used.

How do we handle increase of negative things? (e.g. in a ranking of
failed states?
I would suggest that we create a new template with a green arrow
pointing down and a red arrow pointing up. What do you think? --

Unicode symbols are not accessible, as most of them are read by
screen readers as a question mark (unrecognized). Even when they are, the textual alternative is quite generic, and does not always convey the meaning intended. For example, in this case it would be read as "down arrow" instead of "decrease".
The MoS guideline at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (accessibility)#Text says such symbols should be replaced by an icon with alt text. This guideline was established after the discussion at WT:ACCESS#Non standard ASCII, and consensus was reached to replace such symbols by an icon with alt text.
This change does not have any effect on the layout, or the rendering of the symbol, thus is believed to be consensual. I request to replace: ▲
<span style="color: #0c0; font-size: larger;">▲</span>
by:
[[File:Increase2.svg|11px|alt=increase|link=]]
File:Increase2.svg is in public domain because it is ineligible for copyright (simple geometry), thus the image doesn't require attribution and it is acceptable to remove the link.

Would it be possible to incorporate a mouseover feature into this template and into its siblings, Template:Steady and Template:Decrease, so that when one hovers over them with the cursor they'll say "Increase," "Steady" and "Decrease"?— Biosketch ( talk) 08:35, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
An equilateral triangle points equally in three directions. To indicate one specific direction, would an arrow not be much clearer. Kevin McE ( talk) 20:58, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I created a sandboxed verion of the template with support for delta numbers as tooltips (to be specified in first unnamed parameter). I already implemented this in {{ steady}}, and similar request is filed for {{ decrease}} (see Unnamed parameter for delta). — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff ( talk• track) 12:59, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Is there a specific reason for the two templates {{ rise}} and {{ increase}}, seemingly serving the same purpose, or should they be merged? I have to say that {{ rise}} indicates the direction more clearly. -- Eleassar my talk 10:06, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello!
Is there a clever way to add hidden characters to the HTML code so that table cells using these templates sort correctly?
For example, clicking the sorting icons in the table on the right seems to order the values randomly.

18:01, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Excellent idea to have these signs. However, sometimes, increase (or decrease) is neutral in nature (e.g. labor force due to demographic trends). It would be nice to have also colorless triangles (i.e. trend signs) in that case. Cheers. 47.17.20.247 ( talk) 01:51, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

show a green up-arrow (I would like to add a size parameter to this template and its peers, as shown in this diff in the sandbox.

I have just created Template:Fluctuation formatter (I'm somewhat surprised it didn't already exist; hopefully it wasn't hidden somewhere), which takes a value and returns it along with an appropriate sign based on whether it's positive/negative/neutral. You can see an example usage at {{ Infobox U.S. college admissions}}. It may be difficult to retrofit into existing use cases that have required editors at pages to manually enter the appropriate symbol, but it should be preferable when designing new infoboxes/etc. going forward.

I would like that the number can not wrap below the arrow as the screen narrows. This occasionally happens.
It would be nice if this was the default, so that people don't have to use a parameter.
Right now some people are putting "nowrap" in the styling before those {{increase}} {{decrease}} {{steady}} data cells. And not just for the verbiage after the number. Sometimes just for the arrow and number. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 06:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
