message: Since this template (and ) are now appearing in  templates to indicate an increase or decrease in countries' yearly HDI, perhaps the more generic names  and  might be more suitable for these templates (keeping  and  as redirects)...?  Regards, David Kernow (talk) 00:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm glad profit now redirects here, however I would argue for a notice to say not to use  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  is being used (i.e. to say it is still a positive) when of course decrease should be used.

message: 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: ▲

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.

thread_title:  Can table cells using {{increase}}/{{decrease}} be made sortable? 

message: (Copied from Template_talk:IncreaseNegative)
The documentation does not provide any clear guidance on when  () and  () should be used, as opposed to  () and  ().  The fact that all of the templates share the same documentation only adds to the confusion of which one to use when.
For example, some pages have used  and  in infoboxes to indicate changes in ranking when they really should use  and  instead — see Template:Infobox website:
Put  () OR  () OR  () BEFORE the ranking number to indicate the change of ranking compared with the previous month.
PrimeHunter mentioned a good example when  and  would be appropriate, where an increase is a bad thing (indicated by red):
List of motor vehicle deaths in U.S. by year
Can the documentation be updated to give examples of appropriate uses?  —sroc (talk) 03:58, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Just a simpler method for adding title attributes. Template:Increase/testcases covers all five templates.

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    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)
