Template:Tfluc-common-doc

Icons to show fluctuation

These templates show icons to indicate increase or decrease, such as ranking in a list or company profit.

• Increase: {{increase}} = {{gain}} = {{profit}}, to show an increase or going up in rankings
• Decrease: {{decrease}} = {{down}} = {{loss}}, to show a decrease or going down in rankings
• Steady: {{steady}} = {{nochange}}

An optional first argument alters the tooltip comment. For example, {{decrease|-5%}} produces -5%.

In cases where a symbol is needed to represent an increase that is "bad" or a decrease that is "good", such as a rise or fall in road accident fatalities, the following should be used:

• negative increase: {{IncreaseNegative}}, to show an increase which is actually bad.
• positive decrease: {{DecreasePositive}}, to show a decrease which actually good.
