Orphaned references in Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:33, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 15:02, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I was hoping the bot would resolve this. CaffeinAddict (talk) 16:05, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Table smaller for mobile

I only noticed this morning when checking on mobile the data table is quite large on the mobile version of the page. Not sure if we can make it smaller? CaffeinAddict (talk) 16:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Now that we're covering two years - should dates in their respective yearly section include the years or just the Month and Day? CaffeinAddict (talk) 18:38, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

PEIS warning

The following warning appears on the page when you preview it:

Warning: Post-expand include size is too large. Some templates will not be included.

In Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/Canada/Ontario medical cases chart, I suggest switching its source data from daily numbers to something more practical like weekly or monthly numbers. If the issue persists, then the 2020 monthly tables can be switched from daily to weekly numbers or merged into one table of monthly numbers. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:11, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reduced back under limit using |short=yes param of {{COVID-19 pandemic}}, but it's a temporary measure if more data gets added in future. --2406:3003:2077:1E60:D59D:E6EC:AEA9:4652 (talk) 19:02, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
