Proposal to merge environmental damage and casualties list into a single table[edit]

Both headings contain lists and would be easier to read and more informative as a table. The table headings in the Casualties section is suitable for this purpose. We can then add another column/checkbox to indicate significant ecological damage. -- Nazrila (talk) 00:59, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

there's also this separate table to consider. --Lockley (talk) 17:29, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consider also merging those data in Wikidata and creating an automatically generated table, like in the Portuguese version of the page. I created an English version in my sandbox. --Alexandre Pedrassoli (talk) 16:16, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A great way of maintaining a list, but depends on an experimental bot. Should we therefore wait until it is less experimental? Klbrain (talk) 19:06, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge done (a matter independent on a decision regarding bot use).

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 08:18, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
