Organization, casualty significance and infobox tie-in

[edit]

Template:Pakistan terrorist attacks includes designations using bolding and underlining to denote if the number of attacks exceeds a certain threshold of casualties. Does anyone have any concern with removing the designation within the template and including a different method within this article?

The attacks in each year could be formatted into a table (as in the example below). If the casualties for a specific attack exceed 40, for example, the background of the row for that attack could be highlighted yellow, and if the casualties exceeded a higher number the background could be shaded orange. Here's an example:

2001

October 28 16 deaths, 5 injuries Attack on a Protestant church in southern Punjab city of Bahawalpur resulted in 16 deaths and 5 injuries. The causalities were all Christian worshipers except one police officer.[1]

both the box and the table look good. The changes may go ahead--TheFEARgod (Ч) 17:21, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please avoid using color to convey information if at all possible, per MOS:COLOR. Otherwise, I have no problem with any changes. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 18:04, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I came here to point out that the box is wrong too. It says the attacks with over 100 deaths are underlined but all of them are underlined. I will try and mess with it but I don't know if I can fix it. NeoJustin (Talk page) 05:12, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incredibly long

[edit]

This article is incredibly long. Any suggestions as to what can be done to manage the content it currently holds? Mar4d (talk) 14:07, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to separate the pages by year and I will make it much simple. Such as make a new page as "2001 terrorist incidents in Pakistan" that makes me simple. -- Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 23:15, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea; please go ahead. I will also try to join in, if I have the time :) Mar4d (talk) 05:36, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Plase go and add more information on terrorism. Regards. --Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 01:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vague and Incomplete

[edit]

The article needs a definition of terrorism. Exactly what is it? Are not the drone bombings also an example of terrorism? Is this article only covering non-governmental acts of terrorism? Perhaps it should state it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjedgar (talkcontribs) 13:57, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Muslims, as usual, are behind the terrorist attacks. Drone strikes are almost always initiated against Terrorists - its the chicken and the egg concept...If there were no Islamic Terrorists then Drones would not be bombing them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.222.205.242 (talk) 09:14, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorist incidents list

[edit]

What are the parameters for including fatalities and injuries in the list? Does the list exclusively includes civilians or armed forces and terrorist numbers are also accounted for? - Wiki.0hlic 13:31, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Parachinar bombings

[edit]

I think the Parachinar bombings section should be split and sent to Pakistan terrorism articles for each year. The editor whose username is Z0 14:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
