[edit] Rename...?

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)

Makes sense to me. Valentinian T / C 23:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Usage advice regarding {{profit}} and {{loss}}

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.

[edit] increase of negative things

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)
