Usage[edit source]
{{percentage | numerator | denominator | decimals to round to (zero or greater) }}
Limitations[edit source]
Figures smaller than 0.0001% are shown in scientific notation.
Examples[edit source]
- {{Percentage | 1 | 3 | 0 }} yields 33%
- {{Percentage | 1 | 3 | 2 }} yields 33.33%
Negative values can be used:
- {{Percentage | -1 | 3 }} yields -33%
Normal operation is to cut off all decimal zeroes from right in rounding:
- {{Percentage | 1 | 5 | 2 }} yields 20%
- {{Percentage | 1111 | 10000 | 4 }} yields 11.11%
Add |pad=yes to always get as many decimals as specified, padding with zeroes where needed:
- {{Percentage | 1 | 5 | 2 | pad=yes }} yields 20.00%
- {{Percentage | 1111 | 10000 | 4 | pad=yes }} yields 11.1100%
Third parameter can also be given through |pad=N:
- {{Percentage | 111 | 1000 | pad=4 }} is same as {{Percentage | 111 | 1000 | 4 | pad=yes }} and yields 11.1000%
Default denominator is 100:
- {{Percentage | 20 }} yields 20%
Default precision is zero:
- {{Percentage | 1 | 3 }} yields 33%
Override the percent symbol
- {{Percentage | 1 | 3 | % = percent}} yields 33 percent
Use a prescribed number of significant figures
- {{Percentage | 1 | 4000 | sigfig = 3}} yields 0.0250%
