WikiProject COVID-19

I've created WikiProject COVID-19 as a temporary or permanent WikiProject and invite editors to use this space for discussing ways to improve coverage of the ongoing 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. Please bring your ideas to the project/talk page. Stay safe, --Another Believer _(Talk) 17:38, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to Wikipedia editing. I am an American living in Prague right now. Apologies if I do anything wrong here. I would like to find a way beyond daily percent increase to show when infection rates are accelerating and decelerating. The right visual might help calm folks and give them hope when things are in fact improving, despite large increases/totals in absolute numbers. Most people don't understand than when the daily percent increases go steadily down, that means we're winning and the virus is being contained. Happy to play around here with this a bit on the Czech page and maybe come up with something that can be carried over to updates for other countries.

Fix the table

Can someone please fix the table so that the last day is not in two rows (recoveries one row; cases second row)? Thanks. WikiHannibal (talk) 08:55, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't graphs binded to Wikidata?

Is there any specific reason, why aren't graphs in page binded to Wikidata please? Přemysl Šťastný 14:46, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Timeline: regroup by weeks

The Contents has become quite long (and is likely to lengthen further). Proposal: regroup it by weeks (e.g. starting from the week 10: 2nd March – 8 March). Someone to agree ar disagree? Vlakovod (talk) 15:47, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agree. Cimmerian praetor (talk) 17:07, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Check, pls. Vlakovod (talk) 05:17, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table of daily cases - percentage of infected

Could someone please add percantage of identified positive infections to number of tests done by day? Cimmerian praetor (talk) 17:09, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried, check in the Article, pls. Vlakovod (talk) 04:27, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Vlakovod, maybe I did not get it (again) but User:Cimmerian praetor asked for the percentage of tested positive divided by tested total for each day. This percentage seems to be important (cf. https://www.novinky.cz/zahranicni/koronavirus/clanek/pocet-zachytu-covid-19-denne-klesa-jdeme-spravnym-smerem-rika-dusek-40319280 in Czech) In any case, even the nubmer of tests per day would help. What you added has already been in the chart, am I right? In that case, no need to repeat that in the table. WikiHannibal (talk) 13:44, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, WikiHannibal. First, I will repare my activity. Vlakovod (talk) 13:56, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the row to the table. Is this what you meant? Or, is it better in some chart? Vlakovod (talk) 12:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. Thanks! Not sure about the chart - it would be easier/faster to grasp but I do not know how much work it takes. WikiHannibal (talk) 08:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Vlakovod, many thanksCimmerian praetor (talk) 07:28, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Curve comparison

Thanks for the new comparison, certainly it is better than the previous one. But what does it say to the reader? It shows the absolute number of cases, making certain curves similar (e.g. Slovakia nad Japan), while compared to the population, the two countries epidemic progressed differently. Not sure if, without further (expert) explanation, the comparison is beneficial. WikiHannibal (talk) 15:38, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template: multiple issues

Someone added Template: multiple issues. However it seems that none are raise here in the talk section. Please either specify what issues should be addressed or delete that template. Cimmerian praetor (talk) 07:28, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It was added here diff and not removed after the problem was resolved. +Not sure if the Current disaster template should be considered an issue, making multiple issues template appropriate in the first place. WikiHannibal (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table Date format

Why is the sortable table about a European country using little endian text date instead of ISO Date? At minimum we should try to make it sortable even if leaving as is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sorting#Date_table_sorting_template:_Day_and_month,_Many_other_date_formats 198.52.130.148 (talk) 06:36, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
