Tanzania
Tanzania stopped publishing figures on coronavirus cases on 29 April. I have added a note to say so, but I think that the figures in the table should be changed to "No data". Is there consensus for this? Dudley Miles (talk) 11:42, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Totals
The world totals should be the aggregate of the separate entries, but they are not. The individual countries are taken from a variety of sources and the totals from John Hopkins. The table should be changed so that either all figures are from John Hopkins or the totals sum the individual figures. Dudley Miles (talk) 07:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , here's a short response to your suggestion:
 * That would require a huge overhaul of the template–a job that involves too much time and effort (in terms of replacing numbers) especially during this stage of the pandemic. The current structure of the table is fine as is.
 * Now, an elaboration:
 * If your changes were to be implemented, we would either have sum templates with over 200 parameters or we have figures from one source that are not as up to date as a location's respective local & reputable sources would be. The first option would make it harder to load the template in source editing mode (even on a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro), and the latter would come at the risk of disseminating inaccurate numbers to folks who look up these numbers from Google, which uses this template to power their sidebar search results.
 * Maybe when the pandemic cools down, this suggestion may be reconsidered. But for now, we are keeping the table as is. Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  00:53, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

 * OK. But the notes to the totals say "The total number of cases [deaths and recoveries in the respective columns] may not necessarily add up due to the frequency of values being updated for each location." This should be updated to give the correct explanation that totals are taken from a different source. Also the note to 'Worldwide' says "Total numbers worldwide. Some locations, including North Korea, have yet to report cases." It would also be helpful to clarify that some locations underreport or do not report at all, although the only one I know of which has stopped reporting is Tanzania. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * , here's what I've changed:
 * The total number of cases [deaths and recoveries in the respective columns] may not necessarily add up due to the frequency of values being updated for each location.
 * has been changed to:
 * The total number of [cases, deaths, recoveries in respective columns] may not necessarily represent an aggregate sum of all entries in this column as it relies on aggregate sources and not local sources.
 * As for your second concern (quoted below)...
 * It would also be helpful to clarify that some locations under report (sic) or do not report at all...

 * Reporting criteria vary between countries.
 * ...which I have changed to the following (in order to account for inclusion of locations/int'l conveyances on the template):
 * Reporting criteria...vary between locations.
 * Besides the one word I swapped out, the current footnotes are adequate enough to explain locations that either underreport or do not report.

Notes for Disputed Territories
The issue of autonomous territories and disputed territories was mostly solved back in March and April. Recently, I noticed someone change the note for Israel to "Excluding cases from the Palestinian National Authority". I suddenly noticed that there isn't a standardised format for the footnotes of countries:

Figures do not include the ...

Excluding all ...

Does not include ...

It might seem trivial, but I recall a debate where people decided that using the term "excluding the disputed Taiwan" was unnecessary and political. This assumes that using the term "excluding" is vastly different from "does not include". Wikipedia should not favour one political stance over another, so using varying terms which seem to be different from each other violates this.

I think we should create a standardised system for this, just like we did for territories. Thoughts?

JMonkey2006 (talk) 05:31, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , if I recall, the issue was more that the status of Taiwan was "disputed" than the use of the word "excluding". For consistency's sake I support using one phrase to describe the explanatory footnotes. From the three observed above I would lean towards "Excluding all" or "Does not include". — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 )  05:52, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I also lean towards "Excluding (region, state, territory or province)". But you have to admit that Taiwan is a disputed territory (it's only recognised by only 15 UN member states i think). But for the purpose of these notes, I think that it should be written as "Excluding Taiwan". In that case, should we change "disputed Crimea and Sevastopol" to "Crimea" (in the interim)? JMonkey2006 (talk) 06:46, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not opening the can of worms that is politics concerning Taiwan; I was pointing out that the point of contention was most likely not from the choice of words describing its exclusion, but rather from using the word "disputed". Basically, I don't think any phrase of inclusion or exclusion should have political intent ascribed to them. From an aesthetic point of view I suggest that the phrase that's decided on should be consistent throughout the footnotes.
 * Aside from deciding what manner of phrase to use to include/exclude the regions, I am neutral on any changes being made to Crimea and Sevastopol in terms of describing them. In one of the last comments in the discussion "Excluding the disputed Taiwan", mentions that Crimea is worth noting as disputed in descriptions of Ukraine and Russia because most of Ukraine and most of Russia are not disputed. Perhaps some editors more versed in the subject than me can offer their opinions. — Tenryuu 🐲  ( 💬 • 📝 )  07:16, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , why don't we do a ctrl+f/cmd+f and change every instance for footnotes regarding territories to "does not include..."? The phrase seems much less blunt but conveys the same message, while steering away from the can of worms Tenryuu mentioned.
 * By the way, the modified footnote you brought up was originally as follows:
 * Excluding cases from the State of Palestine.
 * Hope that helps. Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  13:18, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Try to update within the existing framework. The US figures have a terribly confusing calculation, but it is explained in the comments. Just add the new figures without commas inside the sum and make sure that the URL and access-date are correct. Don't change the totals, because that's a compromise over a long period and even though it is heavily flawed, it's the best people could come with. Most importantly, don't go edit warring on a high frequency template, because sudden banning is very likely. KittenKlub (talk) 07:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Adding / removing / commenting out references
Let's try to document this as well. There is general system on the Template, but I don't think it has been properly documented. Today I've updated Guyana, and that's a good example. The official site is infrequently updated nowadays, so that source is commented out (not deleted, because it is still relevant), if there is news report which never figures. The first update today was for number of deaths only, so it was added as a secondary reference was added, because you needed two refs to understand the figure. An hour or so later, there was a full news report update which implied the deletion of the other reference. Any ideas about a proper consensus guideline for the refs on the template? KittenKlub (talk) 08:16, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , if there is a location that relies solely on news sources then the source with the latest figures will be used.
 * Commenting out older sources is only for locations whose figures rely on aggregate sources and have switched between aggregate sources. As source switching for those locations is not as frequent anymore, such habits may have broken down a bit. Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  13:39, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. There are still plenty of refs commented out. Nowadays the main problem is that (smaller) countries and territories are getting tired and used to the new normal and therefore stop updating (the same applies to Wikipedia).KittenKlub (talk) 14:05, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , that's the nature of Wikipedia for you. Like stub articles, these locations' figures are simply updated less often than the figures of larger countries, such as, say, the United States due to either a lack of editors familiar with the COVID–19 situation of that location or from a lack of editors paying attention to those locations.
 * As I've seen from your edit count and your account age I'm not going to give you the spiel of "Wikipedia's contributors are only voluteers"—I'm sure you know that already.
 * As for now, there's not much we can do. I see that veteran editors (of this template) seemed to have... disappeared. Dellux mkd and Capewearer are gone, and MarioGom stopped editing the template a bit before that.
 * I too admit that I've slacked a little with maintaining the US figures myself–but such is life, as people come and go. I'll try to stick around the talk page a bit for the coming weeks, but beyond that...

Updating the totals
When it was known that the total figures of cases, deaths and recoveries hadn't been updated for more than a day (until it was eventually), I wonder how they're being updated, as I've tried to look as to how I can do them myself under the default source editor but couldn't. I guess it may be easier with the Visual Editor but I couldn't get that working right. If I knew how that can be done, I can update the totals on a regular basis myself, perhaps twice a day.

Any way of transcluding top 10 nations with total cases?
The COVID-19 pandemic page broke its PEIS limit again recently and some editors tossed around a few ideas to reduce it again at this discussion.

 * Another option discussed would be to exclude all the footnotes and references. We'd then add a table footnote along the lines of "For detailed references, see COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory". - Wikmoz (talk) 21:17, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I mentioned last time that the number of deaths for Senegal is wrong. It had been fixed, but now it's wrong again... If you go check the ref, "61" is the number of district which have COVID cases. Number of deaths is just next to it, and is currently "174". Thanks. Magali Chr (talk) 19:28, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Never mind, I ran it down and fixed it myself. Someone had renamed the container at one point in the template (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:COVID-19_pandemic_data&diff=968973520&oldid=968969622).  Oltemative (talk) 07:50, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

UK
Publication of death figures for the UK has been suspended on the source, and so the template is still showing the figure for 17 July. However, the government is still publishing daily figures at. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:23, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Remove right side float and small font size markup
The table as presented in COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory doesn't look great right now. It would be better if the table used a standard size font and wasn't aligned to the right of the page. Perhaps we could set a min-width:50% as well to spread out the content a bit.

Within the template, would it be safe to remove the right float and small font size markup? We could add documentation offering instruction on how editors can easily position the table and shrink the font size using:

- Wikmoz (talk) 05:36, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Took a pass at removing the forced styling. However, the scroll box remains at 100% width. Not sure how to fix this so it isn't wider than the table. - Wikmoz (talk) 21:46, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , could you provide a screenshot of the template after you changed the right float (via Imgur if possible)? As far as I know, there needs to be some padding outside of the table (but within the template itself) to prevent the scrollbar from overlapping with the references column. Judging by the specific lines you've changed in the .css file of the template, however, the issue seems to be unrelated to that.
 * If that is the case, the only response I have is that the table was stuck on the right since its creation and has remained that way since in order to prevent it from interfering with content on its parent article, COVID-19 pandemic. As the template's been removed from the parent article, though... maybe we can consider it now? Beats me... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  18:55, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It was unrelated to the right side padding. Essentially, the table was on the left side of the screen and the scroll bar for the table was on the right side of the screen. There was no content in the frame that would push it to full width so it's a mystery. Do we know where Template:COVID-19 pandemic data is transcluded? I believe it's only transcluded into COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory but is there a way to confirm? If so, I think it's safe to roll the change forward and debug. - Wikmoz (talk) 19:05, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

 * According to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere&target=Template_talk%3ACOVID-19_pandemic_data, seems like there's way more than we expected. Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  19:11, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * False alarm, . I tried ctrl+F with "Transclusions" but turned up... nothing, somehow. Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  19:13, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Second false alarm and I'm sorry for pinging you too many times :
 * This [] is the true link we need. Still more than a page, but not as many this time.
 * My previous link was linking to this talk page instead of the template. Sorry! Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  19:15, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Used your method and limited the search to the mainspace. It's just a few topics incorrectly directing users to view the template. Maybe a little safer to debug in the sandbox since I was able to reproduce the issue there. - Wikmoz (talk) 19:17, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, your new method is better. I see it's transcluded to the Portal page. It looks like it's already in a right aligned frame there so probably no issue but I can easily wrap in the above mentioned div if there's any issue after we modify the template style. - Wikmoz (talk) 19:21, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , have you tried changing the width of the template? (not the table itself) Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  19:25, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I can force a fix by setting #covid19-container {width: 550px;} but that's an inelegant solution since for people who have their browsers set to force a larger font size. - Wikmoz (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I set max-width:600px to bring the scrollbar back into proximity of the table but if there's a CSS expert out there who can find the root cause, that would be much better. - Wikmoz (talk) 23:28, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I set the inner table width to 100% to fill the full widget area. This seems to solve the problem. - Wikmoz (talk) 02:07, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , the scrollbar now overlaps with the reference column... back to the drawing board we go. Sorry. (macOS, MacBook Pro Late 2019, Firefox) Cheers, u&#124;RayDeeUx  (contribs &#124; talk page)  02:20, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm unable to reproduce in Firefox on Windows or Android. Really tough to debug without being able to reproduce. For the moment, I think reducing the forced 100% width will help. Can you look at the sandbox page and let me know if everything looks ok? If so, I'll make that the live version until we can figure out a proper fix. Also, to confirm, you have white space to the right of the scrollbox... correct? It's not a matter of the browser frame shrinking the window. - Wikmoz (talk) 04:25, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Nice! Ok, pushed to to live. Set the width to 97% instead of the 96% in the sandbox because it looks like it will fit but let me know if it's no good. Hopefully, someone can add a better solution. - Wikmoz (talk) 03:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

FYI: Template removed from COVID-19 pandemic due to technical limitations
Just FYI for you all, this template unfortunately had to be removed from COVID-19 pandemic due to the page exceeding PEIS limits. See the discussion at Talk:COVID-19 pandemic and some other past threads on that talk page. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 06:12, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * While the template is no longer visible there, links have been provided to this template and the sidebar in its place will have its total cases, deaths, and recoveries update with this graph.
