I have a .csv file with the most up to date lockdown dates for all states around the world. Could someone please advise on how I can share / upload this to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan0100net (talk • contribs) 09:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, I see nobody replied since 2020? I know that to get help, add Help between (( )) before your signature. Cheers from Brussels, SvenAERTS (talk) 10:35, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template and table is becoming quite wide. Could we move the Total length (days) column to be immediately after the ‘Place’ column? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackaroo1970 (talk • contribs) 11:16, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The data on the UK needs to be properly consolidated.

For example, there are stub entries for various city or county lockdowns (search London or Leicester for example) which appear as separate entries to the whole UK. It's also lacking any data relating to the local lockdowns during the summer of 2020 in Manchester, the North and the Midlands.

Compare this to Australian locations where, eg, Melbourne lockdowns are included in full, separately from lockdowns in other adjacent council districts, eg, Geelong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.65.86.64 (talk) 08:19, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why touch the font size? Let it be 100% and let the browser handle resizing. For a dense table, you might think "let's make this small so it fits", when you should be thinking about accessibility and thinking "wow this table is so dense it needs to be at least regular size to be readable". Considering the table is mostly numbers, having it anything less than 100% (default) size is no good. I'm asking before changing, instead of being bold, but barring any response, I'll change this to just use default font size. Kimen8 (talk) 13:50, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This table is way too wide. It needs to be broken up.

Now that sticky headers have been fixed in scrollable tables, this is the next major improvement that is needed.

So there would be 4 templates instead of one. --Timeshifter (talk) 03:06, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
