WikiProject COVID-19 consensus

WikiProject COVID-19 aims to add to and build consensus for pages relating to COVID-19. They have so far discussed items listed below. Please discuss proposed improvements to them at the project talk page.

General

Superseded by TfD October 2020 and later practice - consult regular {{Current}} guidance.

Refrain from using Worldometer (worldometers.info) as a source due to common errors being observed as noted on the Case Count Task Force common errors page. (April 2020, April 2020)

For infoboxes on the main articles of countries, use Wuhan, Hubei, China for the origin parameter. (March 2020)

"Social distancing" is generally preferred over "physical distancing". (April 2020, May 2020)

Page title

COVID-19 (full caps) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all articles/category pages/etc.(RM April 2020, including the main article itself, RM March 2021).

SARS-CoV-2 (exact capitalisation and punctuation) is the common name of the virus and should be used for the main article's title, as well as in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. (June 2022, overturning April 2020)

Map

There is no consensus about which color schemes to use, but they should be consistent within articles as much as possible. There is agreement that there should be six levels of shading, plus gray for areas with no instances or no data. (May 2020)

There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. (May 2020)

For map legends, ranges should use fixed round numbers (as opposed to updating dynamically). There is no consensus on what base population to use for per capita maps. (May 2020)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

I think it would be relevant to add in the “Science and Technology” section, the following conclusions from a reliable source (scholarly paper writen together by 10 authors). What do you think? I have a COI with de Rassenfosse. (See my userpage for more info).

Scholars have concluded that the immediate lessons in terms of science and innovation policy are rather harsh. Time lost in the field of science and technology cannot be recovered. Moreover, allocating substantial resources belatedly towards specific scientific objectives, cannot make up for the insufficient private investments and misguided public policies that have characterized recent vaccine R&D efforts. ^[1] AM13prime (talk) 09:07, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
