Proposal: Create a new section for "Vaccines"

[edit]

As of March 2021, this article does not yet have a section dedicated to vaccines. At this point, new readers very likely want information about vaccines -- as opposed to how the history of how the virus spread last year, which is indeed of historical importance but is probably not the best/only way to structure this article. I suggest a simple cut/paste to pull the existing detailed info about vaccines from wherever it appears in the Timeline and put it into a new section called Vaccines. If appropriate, we could leave behind a brief summary in the timeline of whatever detailed info we removed. Thoughts? - Tuckerlieberman (talk) 14:24, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, rather than a new section in this article, the bulk of the development of the vaccination process could be best addressed in a separate article (linked to this one, obviously) as it has been done for other countries where enough information on the matter has become available. It must be noted that even without any info on vaccination (which is a process that is just starting and is certain to provide far more events to talk about in the immediate future), the sheer size of this article is already large enough to start considering splitting stuff into new articles instead of adding up more and more sections. What could be made here would be a small subsection with a brief introduction linking to the new article on vaccination, but any and every expansion of information on the matter should go into the new article. However, I think the info on the first developments of vaccination should kept in the timeline as it is right now but copied into the vaccination article, instead of being cut and pasted in another section as it is being proposed, for historic and context purposes. TL;DR: preparatory developments should be kept in the timeline, future events specifically related to vaccination should go into a new article, with events prior to deployment of vaccines copied there to provide context.

Thanks. I created the new article: COVID-19 vaccination in Colombia. I didn't remove information from this article. I just copied the existing information into the new article; there, I reorganized it and made style edits. - Tuckerlieberman (talk) 21:35, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Where does the "Chart" data come from?

[edit]

I don't know where the charts are pulling data from. (Deaths per day, etc.) If we had a sentence identifying the data source, it would inspire confidence. It's hard for me to share this data and say it comes "from Wikipedia" when I can't answer the follow-up question "Where did Wikipedia get it from?"

PEIS warning

[edit]

The following warning appears on the page when you preview it:

Warning: Post-expand include size is too large. Some templates will not be included.

To reduce the amount of content that contributes to the issue, I suggest switching the four daily graphs found in the "Charts" section to something more practical like weekly or monthly numbers. If this doesn't resolve the warning, then I also suggest doing the same to the daily Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Colombia medical cases chart.
