==What is this list?==

This readout highlights the partnership between Google and Wikipedia on surfacing COVID-19 data. This digest aims to shed light on user trends and data sources so that both Google and Wikipedia can more effectively surface relevant COVID-19 information to users across the globe. 

The information shared in this digest will be:

  • Updated on a weekly cadence

  • Populated/updated by relevant stakeholders by 6pm US PST every Thursday and sent out Friday morning US PST.

Shared transparently with Google, Wikimedia Foundation, and Wikipedia’s language communities.

==Google Feedback==
  • Google has noticed some negative numbers in some of the daily data (in the country pages, eg: Romania). Is this by design or a bug? MP: I do see some negative values in this template – not sure why. @Mario or anyone else who knows the template conventions better than I do, do you happen to know?
  • Some countries are not being updated in the regional data level (eg: France). MP: It looks like folks stopped updating the regional totals template. There is more up-to-date data on French Wikipedia, though!

==Community Feedback==

Wisconsin template parsing issues noticed by readers – caught and fixed this week. Thanks for the quick response, Google team!
