For practical use, we'll have templates... but here is an example of the general idea, for now:

Introduction

Argumenticons are kind of like emoticons for showing the structure of an argument or discussion.

This is a growing seedling article. You can help Issuepedia by watering it.

  • the argumenticons category is where we will keep all our argumenticon images and templates

Example

right-arrow debaticon Stuff exists!
up-arrow debaticon Indeed, surveys show that nothing could be more true!
down-arrow debaticon That is an utter load of foetid dingo's kidneys!
up-arrow debaticon Even if stuff is a load of foetid dingo's kidneys, foetid dingo's kidneys do in fact exist and therefore so does stuff!

I'm going to leave all the support/counter icons the same size for now, at least until it becomes clear that we have a use for the other sizes.

To be documented: How to use the quote icons - text as originally spoken or written (either by an arguer or by a 3rd party), which may need to be broken down into sub-claims:

up-arrow debaticon A spokesman for Bigg Phatt Lyar Industries said: quote debaticon Our products are absolutely the finest quality of any products anywhere, so there is no need for people to go criticizing them. Criticism hampers quality control, which only harms the consumer. Button-unquote.png

Rules

Points are supporting (Arrow-button-up-25px.png) if they support the current main point (Arrow-button-rt-25px.png). If a point supports the current counterpoint (Arrow-button-dn-15px.png), then it is also a counterpoint. If it argues against the current counterpoint, then it is a supporting point. (This way you don't have to go up through the levels counting in order to figure out which "side" a point is on.)
