Brazil
editBrazil's minimum wage is now 1412 BRL (288 USD). Please change it Semduvidas1 (talk) 18:07, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- First you must supply a reliable source for that change. An English source is better than a Portuguese one. HOTmag (talk) 20:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Turkey
editsome anons from Turkey keep trying to make fools out of the readers. Wants us to believe that a minimum wage of 570$ net monthly would translate to PPP of 150k$ p.a.
Seems I must find me an admin or someone who knows why the wiki tool is spitting out that nonsense number. If anyone knows the tool enlighten me Foerdi (talk) 23:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Never mind. Little digging and I found out where the bullshit data comes from. Obviously the template uses 2016(!) data for its bullshit PPP calculation.
- Do not revert the Turkey row again to the wrong calculation or I will seek admin help Foerdi (talk) 23:32, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Canada
editCould someone please adjust the numbers for Canada? I updated the new numbers for the lowest and highest minimum wages, and the equivalent US amounts, but then realised the tables would all have to be adjusted as well, and I don't know how to do that ("nominal", "PPP", "GDP", etc), so I didn't publish the changes. I left it as is. The sentence to be changed reads: "The minimum wage in Canada is set federally and by each province and territory; ranges from CA$13 to CA$16 (US$9.69 to US$11.93) per hour." The sentence can be changed to read, " ... ranges from CAD$14 to CAD$19 (USD$10.33 to USD$14.01) per hour." and then the corresponding tables will have to be changed as well (and if anyone knows how to do it and can tell me, I can do it myself. Still learning). And FYI, the currency abbreviations/acronyms for Canadian and US currencies are "CAD" and "USD", not "CA" and "US".
On a related note, some of these figures will change later in 2024 (i.e. Ontario's minimum wage of $16.55 will rise to $17.20 on October 1, 2024), but that can dealt with later. Kubrickrules (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:42, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Personal Income Tax Rate
editCurrently misses the Personal Income Tax Rate in percent for each country which means the minimum wage can appear alot higher than the actual take-home value earnt after tax. Requires a decent free source thats updated regularly to add to it via another column. Stryderunknown (talk) 00:13, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Israel
editOn October 18, somebody updated Israel's row in this table with new numbers in this edit, but their action had the undesirable side effect of breaking the row entirely, so that every column displayed a blaring red "Error in Template:Nts: Fractions are not supported" error message instead of a number. However, they just changed numbers — even the working version of the table contained "fractions", and the editor didn't introduce any new "fractions" that weren't already there, so it isn't obvious to me how their edit caused the problem.
For the moment I've reverted their edit, since we obviously can't leave the table in a broken state (also, it was transcluding a redlinked error-maintenance category that I couldn't leave on the page). If their edit was fundamentally valid, however, then could somebody update Israel's row with the new numbers in a way that doesn't break it? Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 16:03, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
