Current consensus
edit
NOTE: The following is a list of material maintained on grounds that it represents current consensus for the articles under the scope of this project. In accordance with Wikipedia:General sanctions/Coronavirus disease 2019, ("prohibitions on the addition or removal of certain content except when consensus for the edit exists") changes of the material listed below in this article must be discussed first, and repeated offenses against established consensus may result in administrative action. It is recommended to link to this list in your edit summary when reverting, as [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject COVID-19#Current consensus]], item [n]
. To ensure you are viewing the current list, you may wish to .
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- Superseded by TfD October 2020 and later practice - consult regular {{Current}} guidance.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)
Long Covid at Wikidata
editHoi, At this time there is only one scientific paper with the "main subject" long covid. Given the denial of the subject and the consequences.. It is a great idea to consider Wikidata as a source. Here is the [Scholia https://scholia.toolforge.org/topic/Q100732653] for the subject. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 11:49, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, @GerardM:. I'm not sure what you mean by "only one scientific paper" with the main subject being long COVID. I'm seeing the following papers, among others:
- Perhaps you could clarify what you actually meant? Thanks! - Cyberflag1 (talk) 12:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- When you check the Scholia for the topic, you find that there are now 108 publications. As there is a lot of controversy around the subject, it is vital that for a NPOV we keep on top on adding references.. I blogged about this recently the other day. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 17:14, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi GerardM. I know your post is old, but even in late 2023 there was significant research ongoing regarding Long COVID. I have a number of articles and there are many available online if you search for them but here is a link to the NIH portal for the topic, there is a tab on Long COVID. [1]https://covid19.nih.gov
- Thanks to @Cyberflag1for the short list. The Immunology of Long COVID is a great paper.
