Usage
Everything before:
{|
[...]
|-
| Something
This is the table cell having a coloured background:
| {{Template:Percentage change|[here comes your percentage]}}
Everything after:
| Something
[...]
|}
The percentage can be an integer or a float. E.g. 11.2 works as well. The table cells after the template cannot be inserted on same line divided by double bar, so pay attention to insert a newline just after the template and restart the new line of the table with a single vertical bar.
