General

1. There is no consensus about whether to use Template:Current at the top of articles covered by this project. The de facto practice has been to include them for less-trafficked articles but not for the most heavily trafficked ones. Link 1 Superseded by TfD and later practice - consult regular ((Current)) guidance.
2. Refrain from using Worldometer (worldometers.info) as a source due to common errors being observed as noted on Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19/Case Count Task Force#Common errors. Link 1, Link 2
3. For infoboxes on the main articles of countries, use Wuhan, Hubei, China for the origin parameter. Link 1
4. "Social distancing" is generally preferred over "physical distancing". Link 1, Link 2

Page title

1. Coronavirus disease 2019 is the full name of the disease and should be used for the main article. COVID-19 (full caps) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. Link 1, Link 2, including the main article (RM permalink).
2. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is the full name of the virus and should be used for the main article. SARS-CoV-2 (exact capitalisation and punctuation) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. Link 1

Map

1. 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. Link 1, Link 2
2. There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. Link 1, Link 2
3. 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. Link 1, Link 2
