TemplateData for DecreasePositive
This is one of a series of templates to display an increase or decrease arrow icon. {{Increase}} = {{IncreasePositive}} = {{Up}} = {{Gain}} = {{Profit}} is a green up arrow. {{Decrease}} = {{DecreaseNegative}} = {{Down}} = {{Loss}} is a red down arrow. {{Steady}} = {{Nochange}} = {{Same}} is a flat line for no change. Use {{IncreaseNegative}} or {{DecreasePositive}} to flip the color. Examples of situations where use of {{IncreaseNegative}} is appropriate include: (a) the quantity involved should be minimized (e.g. road accidents or a country's HDI rank), is always non-negative by definition and has unfortunately risen, and (b) the quantity involved should be maximized (e.g. annual income for a business), may generally be positive, negative or zero by definition, is currently a negative number (indicating a loss, justifying red color) and has encouragingly improved (reduction in loss, justifying up arrow). Examples of situations where use of {{DecreasePositive}} is appropriate include: (a) the quantity involved should be minimized (e.g. road accidents or a country's HDI rank), is always non-negative by definition and has thankfully fallen, and (b) the quantity involved should be minimized (e.g. a country's net carbon emission), may generally be positive, negative or zero by definition, is currently a negative number (indicating net negative emission, justifying green color) and has encouragingly fallen (reduction in net carbon emission, justifying down arrow). Where the quantity involved is neither color, use {{IncreaseNeutral}} and {{DecreaseNeutral}}.
