Template:Increase is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases. |
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.

The image used in this template has been superseded by this image. — cBuckley (Talk • Contribs) 18:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Please, add sl:Predloga:Rast. Thanks. --Eleassar my talk 12:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Please add is:Snið:Hækkun. --Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson 22:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
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? --Spitzl 11:03, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
{{editprotected}} The format of WP:DOC has since changed, please update {{increase}} and {{decrease}}. — Dispenser 02:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

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)
