Hello,
For the worldwide table, it may be a good idea to link directly to the main
page for the table:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pandemic…
This page is transcluded to the "2019–20 coronavirus pandemic by country
and territory" article. We are receiving many user requests in the talk
page for the later article, but that is not watched by as many people and
it is not the best place to report issues.
Best,
Mario Gómez
Hello,
Listing criteria for countries and territories in the cases table could
change soon. The RfC did not start yet and proposals and feedback are
welcome:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:2019%E2%80%9320_coronavirus_pan…
The number of affected territories should be less compared to the previous
RfC (late March).
Best,
Mario Gómez

==Wikimedia Foundation updates==
- WMF Tech and Research teams are tracking all Mediawiki-related
COVID-related bug reports and feature requests in Phabricator (with the
covid-19 tag): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/4648/ –
anyone can submit issues and requests to this tag (or ask a WMF staffer for
help if you're unfamiliar with Phabricator).
==Feedback==
Any additional feedback (ie: data latency issues or inaccuracies on
Google’s reporting of COVID-19 data).
- On March 31, Wikipedians noticed that Greenland was not highlighted on
the Google map visualization as having any cases, likely because Greenland
and Denmark were not separated in the 2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic_data
template – this appears to have been fixed.
