 <!-- end auto-generated rule header -->
 
+> **Note**: This rule is NOT a port of upstream `ember-template-lint`'s `no-negated-condition`.
+> Upstream's rule prefers `not-eq` over `if/else`; this rule bans `not-eq` (and similar) entirely.
+> These are opposite goals.

 Disallows negated comparison operators in templates.
 
 ## Rule Details
 
-Use positive comparison operators with `{{unless}}` instead of negated comparison operators like `not-eq` or `ne`.
