I would normally bring this up in discussion before a change was made. – Quiddity ( talk) 17:44, 1 September 2013 (UTC) Reply This should go to a public RFC, not this little watched talk page. (If you know of any others, do tell, I'll poke them about it as well.)

Please kill these messages (I'm not bold enough to do that on my own, sorry) - Hoo man ( talk) 17:36, 1 September 2013 (UTC) Reply +2, and thanks Matma for pushing this along. I think en.wp is the only Wikipedia to use this hack. Carets also have accessibility issues, being pronounced by screen readers as such – according to Graham87 at it sounds like "carrots", which is rather unexpected. The carets have replaced the arrows back in 2006 due to "display bugs" (done by Rspeer) in the meantime technology has moved on and I'm sure 99.9% of systems today can display the arrows just fine. (Alternatively: copy over the contents if you want to keep page history, but personally I see no need.) Please delete messages MediaWiki:Cite references link one and MediaWiki:Cite references link many to restore their default contents (as seen on MediaWiki:Cite references link one/en and MediaWiki:Cite references link many/en), featuring pretty up-arrows ↑ instead of ugly carets ^.
