Usage

This template calculates and displays the winning percentage for sports teams given three parameters: wins, losses and ties. Those three parameters are unnamed.

{{Winning percentage|<wins>|<losses>|<ties>}}

Wins and losses are required; ties are optional.

The result is displayed as a decimal point followed by three digits, as is standard in sports standings. Including |leading_zero=y will add a leading 0 before the period (.), while adding |record=y will show the record followed by the winning percentage.

In scenarios where ties are not regarded as half a win, using |ignore_ties=y will omit ties and equate the winning percentage exactly as wins divided by the total number of games/matches played (i.e. wins plus draws plus losses).

Code	Result	Explanation	Calculation
`{{Winning percentage\|30\|20}}`	.600	<win> / <total>	.600 = 30 / (30+20)
`{{Winning percentage\|30\|20\|50}}`	.550	(<win> + (<ties>/2)) / <total>	.550 = (30+(50/2)) / (30+20+50)
`{{Winning percentage\|30\|20\|50\|ignore_ties=y}}`	.300	<win> / <total-without-ties>	.300 = 30 / (30 + 20 + 50)
`{{Winning percentage\|100\|50\|record=y}}`	100–50 (.667)	Showing records along with calculated percentage
`{{Winning percentage\|100\|50\|3\|leading_zero=y\|record=y}}`	100–50–3 (0.663)	showing records and percentage with leading zero
`{{Winning percentage\|100\|50\|leading_zero=y}}`	0.667	show percentage with leading zero
`{{Winning percentage\|100\|0}}`	1.000	100% winning
`{{Winning percentage\|0\|4}}`	.000	0% winning
`{{Winning percentage\|0\|0}}`	–	No match played, so a percentage is not mathematically possible
