Welcome! Saw your comment on the Statistics page (when trying to find help deciphering some Ivermectin for COVID-19 stats). Did you notice the "City of Cape Town governance data" link on your home page doesn't work properly? Someone hasn't managed to set up the tech (http redirect or DNS or SSL certificate) properly. Think there's any point reporting it at https://www.capetown.gov.za/Feedback ? Helpfully, I found this, which notes, "To visit the Open Data portal, users can visit the City’s home page at http://www.capetown.gov.za/ or go to http://www.capetown.gov.za/City-Connect, then select open data portal which will take you to the portal page at https://odp-cctegis.opendata.arcgis.com/." Simply swapping in the latter URL should fix the problem.
Edit, by Aidan Horn: Thanks 50.201.195.170. I've used your wording to report the https redirect issue to the City of Cape Town, and I've just used the http URL on my website now.
- Cool. Careful. Ten thousand people plus are being killed worldwide each day by being denied effective meds [and information about them] to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, but Guns being drawn and doctors being hauled off to prison is especial. It's typical to indent your reply with : characters; see how I indented mine? --50.201.195.170 (talk) 07:23, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
Tip:It's not obvious what page you were talking about there (WT:WPSTATS) but this simple search made it clear.--50.201.195.170 (talk) 20:51, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
