Could I get someone to unlock the [[:Template:Infobox person]] page?  It should have some more elements, and perhaps be merged with [[:Template:Infobox person2]].  Thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 11:24, 12 January 2017 (EST)

==New templates to mark direction of changes==
 +
I have added five new templates, which I hope will gain widespread adoption. These templates show icons to indicate increase or decrease, such as ranking in a list or company profit.
 +
 +
* {{Increase}}: {{tl|Increase}}, to show an increase or going up in rankings
 +
* {{Decrease}}: {{tl|Decrease}}, to show a decrease or going down in rankings
 +
* {{Steady}}: {{tl|Steady}} = to show no change
 +
 +
An optional first argument alters the tooltip comment. For example, <nowiki>{{Decrease|-5%}} </nowiki>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:
 +
 +
* {{IncreaseNegative}}:{{tl|IncreaseNegative}}, to show an increase which is actually bad.
 +
* {{DecreasePositive}}: {{tl|DecreasePositive}}, to show a decrease which is actually good.
 +
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thanks, [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 08:13, 27 January 2017 (EST)
