Maximum rated tornado: use of different scales

A recently reverted edit at Tornadoes of 2019 brought a thought to my head. In years where the maximum rated tornadoes occur in different countries and are rated on both the Fujita and Enhanced Fujita scales, should we lump them all together or split them up by scale. For example, with 2019, should we list it as four EF4 tornadoes or three EF4 and one F4? F and EF ratings are commonly presented as being equivalent, but they are not necessarily and we technically are dealing with two different scales. A tornado that was rated F4 on the Fujita scale might be rated EF5 or, perhaps more likely, EF3 if assessed on the EF scale. Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but it seems to me we should distinguish between tornadoes rated on the F and EF scales in these infoboxes. It might also be worthwhile to allow support for the TORRO scale. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:11, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

United States Man, TropicalAnalystwx13, Cyclonebiskit, TornadoInformation12, CrazyC83 Do you have any thoughts on the matter? I think it might be a good idea to add the TORRO scale to the list since it appears there may have been a T10 tornado in 1984. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:16, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Most people consider the scales to be *effectively* equal, so I would lump them together. CrazyC83 (talk) 07:22, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

@TornadoLGS: I know I’m dreadfully late to this discussion but I agree with CrazyC83, just lump them together. United States Man (talk) 22:01, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
