Usefulness?

There were a number of somewhat notable tornado events that currently lack articles - examples include February 17, April 8-11 and the events off Fay, Gustav and Ike. Should they be mentioned as well? CrazyC83 (talk) 04:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess, I've only made this template as a test to see what would come of it, I only included the links for articles but the other notable ones could be included with piped links. Cyclone biskit 04:57, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I got all the major ones. Are there any others that I should add? Cyclone biskit 22:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I can think of at this point. CrazyC83 (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of changing this to a three-level template with two headings on the left called "Killer tornadoes", (for all events with fatalities in the US) "Other significant outbreaks" (for significant events with zero fatalities in the US) and "International outbreaks" (for significant/killer events that did not include US tornadoes). Those would add events with isolated fatalities like January 29, February 12 and July 24 even though they were not really outbreaks and did not have much else (all killer tornadoes are to be listed on Tornadoes of (year) even if they are not even semi-notable in any other way). Any thoughts on that? CrazyC83 (talk) 12:56, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm up for anything that'll make this template more comprehensive. Cyclone biskit 13:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
