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 ) 18:11, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Thousands' separator
Are you sure you want to use space instead of ','? Most other charts use the comma... Alexiscoutinho (talk) 16:03, 27 March 2020 (UTC)


 * nbsp strangely wasn't working with the  parameter. However, it was good to switch to the comma to keep consistency anyways. Alexiscoutinho (talk) 17:45, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Toggle bar
Wouldn't it be most logical if clicking 'march' made *all* march date's visible, instead of toggling them (i.e. the invisible ones become visible, and the visible ones become invisible)? It became even more confusing due to the 1st of april addition, which should affected by the last 15 toggle and the april toggle but *not* the march toggle. Currently, it isn't affected at all, because the class mw-customtoggle-apr-l15 is missing. 2A02:1811:D8B:5E00:3545:BBE9:F8AD:D0B2 (talk) 10:17, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

Precision of small numbers
I have just seen, that there are different ideas, whether to write "0,79%" or "0,8%". I agree, that we use the more ciphers after comma, the smaller the numbers get, at least two ciphers different from zero, it was done so at the end of march, when numbers went lower than 10%, so we should repeat that now, too. --82.82.51.64 (talk) 12:22, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

I agree, we should have two significant digits. Mvanderhallen (talk) 09:26, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Active cases are wrong
There are no numbers of active cases available in Belgium, because the numbers of recovered cases are only the recovered ones from hospitals. So when the numbers of confirmed cases (also patients who aren't admitted to the hospital) and you deduct the recovered cases only from hospital (there aren't other numbers available), you get a number that will be high in eternity. There are many patients who where confirmed COVID positive and stayed at home in self quarantine. Because they recovered at home, they aren't in the numbers of recovered cases. So it would be better to just mention the confirmed cases and deaths and delete the active cases. Neanderen (talk) 10:44, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Percentage or absolute option for new infections?
I started a discussion on that topic here Project COVID-19, Medical cases charts - change type. My personal opinion is that absolute change display suits much better in an epidemic's second wave. But also the status quo ante should be kept until some agreement is reached (locally or possibly a consensus in linked discussion). -- Kohraa Mondel (talk) 15:38, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
