Please, please
editPlease, do not publish duplicate requests like you are doing almost every day at Template talk:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data. We read your requests even if you don't publish them twice. We are volunteers (WP:VOLUNTEER) and this just adds more stress on everyone. Thank you. --MarioGom (talk) 22:15, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
Regarding autoconfirmed status
editI know I have brought this up twice with you now, but I would like to remind you one last time: edit protection levels on the coronavirus template have dropped to semi-protected status. Therefore, you are now able to edit the template directly without having to add topics to the template's talk page. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page) 15:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
COVID-19 cases in France
editHi BlackSun2104: Please, do not update France cases from JHU or Worldometer. Their figures are wrong, as discussed in the talk page. You can read more about it here: Wikipedia:WikiProject COVID-19/Case Count Task Force § Common errors and Template talk:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/Archive 11 § France figures, nusing homes included. If you have any doubt, feel free to ask. Best, --MarioGom (talk) 19:39, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
- BlackSun2104: Nursing homes are already included. If you do not agree, please, use the talk page: Template talk:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data. --MarioGom (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
COVID-19 worldwide cases
editIf you want to change world cases in the Template:COVID-19 pandemic data, you can simply go to Template:Cases in the COVID-19 pandemic and change the confirmed, deaths and recovered values. SMB99thx Email! 08:12, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Discuss major changes to the template first
editThere is a joint effort to update it, and there is a current consensus. You are free to update the figures according to current system, but any deviation has to be discussed. KittenKlub (talk) 06:16, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Template:COVID-19 pandemic data, you may be blocked from editing. KittenKlub (talk) 06:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

editYou may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you change genres in pages without discussion or sources, as you did at Template:COVID-19 pandemic data. - Timbaaa -> ping me 07:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --KittenKlub (talk) 07:05, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Don't replace templates with static figures
editThis edit is creating a lot of work to clean up. Please see WP:FENCE — if you don't know what the template does, don't mess with it; and if you do, you should know to update the template, not replace it. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 08:36, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
