Talk:List of terrorist incidents in Pakistan since 2001

Copy notices

Organization, casualty significance and infobox tie-in

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	Main article: 2001 Bahawalpur church attack 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.

both the box and the table look good. The changes may go ahead--TheFEARgod (Ч) 17:21, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

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)

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)

Incredibly long

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)

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)

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)

Plase go and add more information on terrorism. Regards. --Mohamed Aden Ighe (talk) 01:05, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Vague and Incomplete

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 (talk • contribs) 13:57, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

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)

Terrorist incidents list

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)

Parachinar bombings

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)
