WikiProject COVID-19 consensus

WikiProject COVID-19 aims to add to and build consensus for pages relating to COVID-19. They have so far discussed items listed below. Please discuss proposed improvements to them at the project talk page.

General

Superseded by TfD October 2020 and later practice - consult regular {{Current}} guidance.

Refrain from using Worldometer (worldometers.info) as a source due to common errors being observed as noted on the Case Count Task Force common errors page. (April 2020, April 2020)

For infoboxes on the main articles of countries, use Wuhan, Hubei, China for the origin parameter. (March 2020)

"Social distancing" is generally preferred over "physical distancing". (April 2020, May 2020)

Page title

COVID-19 (full caps) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all articles/category pages/etc.(RM April 2020, including the main article itself, RM March 2021).

SARS-CoV-2 (exact capitalisation and punctuation) is the common name of the virus and should be used for the main article's title, as well as in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. (June 2022, overturning April 2020)

Map

There is no consensus about which color schemes to use, but they should be consistent within articles as much as possible. There is agreement that there should be six levels of shading, plus gray for areas with no instances or no data. (May 2020)

There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. (May 2020)

For map legends, ranges should use fixed round numbers (as opposed to updating dynamically). There is no consensus on what base population to use for per capita maps. (May 2020)

To ensure you are viewing the current list, you may wish to purge this page.

COVID-19 pandemic data — current consensus
NOTE: The following is a list of material maintained on grounds that it represents current consensus in the template. In accordance with Wikipedia:General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019, ("prohibitions on the addition or removal of certain content except when consensus for the edit exists") changes of the material listed below in this article must be discussed first, and repeated offenses against established consensus may result in administrative action. It is recommended to link to this list in your edit summary when reverting, as [[Template talk:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data#Current consensus]], item [n].

~~Autonomous territories and dependencies should be split as long as there are reliable sources. Link to RfC.~~ (superseded by #5, which was superseded by #7)
The default column sort is by confirmed cases. Link to RfC.
No more columns. Link to discussion (informal).
~~Do not use Worldometer to report any figures. Link to discussion (informal).~~ (superseded by #7)
Criteria for listing territories: We follow listing criteria similar to WHO Situation Reports, with the exception of China (Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are split), France (overseas regions and departments are merged), partially recognized territories and cruise ships. See the RfC for details. (superseded by #7)
China is listed as "China", not "China (mainland)". The status of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan is clarified in a note. Link to discussion.
Module:COVID-19 data is used. Its data are sourced from Our World in Data (OWID) and automatically updated by TolBot Task 5. Only and all locations for which OWID has data on cases are included. (discussion)

To ensure you are viewing the current list, you may wish to purge this page.

This template is written in British English with Oxford spelling (colour, realize, organization, analyse; note that -ize is used instead of -ise) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the COVID-19 pandemic data template.

Add columns for per capita cases and deaths?

Per capita figures would be useful for these two columns as that would assist in comparing relative severity. Note that Wikimedia’s File:COVID-19 Outbreak World Map Total Deaths per Capita.svg merges the data from this page with that of List of countries and dependencies by population for its helpful graphic.

There is an error on the Guyana row, one of the ref tags are missing a ">" and it's causing an error on the display page that says " Cite error: A ^[1] (see the help page)." MallyFirestorm (talk) 01:57, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 16 November 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected template at Template:COVID-19 pandemic data.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. Consider making changes first to the template's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
