Map by % per capita GDP
Can we get a map going by % per capita GDP?

Table sorting
Why is the table sorted in alphabetical order only? We need also a table sorted by the minimum wage itself from highest to lowest. I've seen other articles about the Gini index, etc that the tables are again sorted by alphabetical order in them! Aminabzz (talk) 17:46, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's also sortable according to the values in a given column. Under the title of that column, you can see two small triangles on each other. Once you click on them, you get the table sorted according to values in that column. HOTmag (talk) 11:41, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Aminabzz (talk) 13:02, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add, that if you click twice, you get the table sorted in reverse order. HOTmag (talk) 17:24, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Brazil
Brazil'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)

Iran and Argentina??
Iran: How does $152 per month equate to $20,881 per year? Argentina: How does $190 per month equate to $21,350 per year?

I mean just look at the "percent of GDP" figure of Argentina to the right... they pay 950% of their GDP per capita as minimum wage? 107.15.254.76 (talk) 00:18, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Turkey
some 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
Could 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)
