This is a documentation subpage for Template:Effectiveness. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Description

This template is designed for use in the Money making Guides. With an input of the cost of items bought and items sold, and the amount processed in an hour, it outputs a star rating for this with a calculated profit value, rounded to the nearest 1,000. The star rating corresponds to the following table, agreeded up in Forum:Money Method Metric:

Profit range	Number of stars
Profit ≥ 500,000	5	*****
250,000 ≤ Profit < 500,000	4	*****
150,000 ≤ Profit < 250,000	3	*****
100,000 ≤ Profit < 150,000	2	*****
50,000 ≤ Profit < 100,000	1	*****
0 ≤ Profit < 50,000	0	*****
0 > Profit	5, red	*****

Notes

• If using Template:GEPrice, the |n parameter must be used (i.e. {{GEPrice|item|n}}) for items worth 1,000 coins or more (as this removes the comma). If worth less than 1,000, |n should still be included incase the item does reach 1,000 coins or more in the future.
• The output parameter can be left out completely if both the stars and the value are wanted.
• This is designed for use in a table, but can be used alone.
• Please see here for discussing changes to the table.
