IMF Rankings

Please make Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Puerto Rico unranked (omit the number from the Rank column) in the latest IMF table just as in the other two tables.

Taiwan figure from CIA is not accurate

Taiwan's GDP per capita ($24502) is real GDP, not PPP.

Note on Mexico

Mexico is located in North American, not Central America.

Iran's GDP per capita is wrong

IMF has put Iran's GDP per capita at 21,219.523 but it has been published here wrongly at 5472. 212.80.14.234 (talk) 08:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Also removed the duplicate entry for Iraq while I was in there. PianoDan (talk) 16:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The ranking is still wrong. Seems that you did not sort the table out after correcting the number. 2A02:4540:28:B94:966D:9C29:85F9:2A48 (talk) 07:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it - didn't realize that the items weren't auto-sorted at all when you first load the page. Fixed. PianoDan (talk) 14:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistencies between related pages

There are a total of 4 Wikipedia pages related to list of countries by gdp.

List of countries by GDP (nominal),

List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita,

List of countries by GDP (PPP),

List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita.

The problem is that even though all the pages use the data released by the IMF and sort and order the data by that, they treat countries like Taiwan and Kosovo very differently on each page.

On the GDP and PPP per capita pages, Taiwan and Kosovo have a grey background,

while on the GDP per capita and PPP pages, Taiwan and Kosovo have a white background like the other countries.

In former versions of GDP and PPP per capita pages, the criteria was simply "whether or not there is individual IMF data", regardless of whether the region was a country or not, or whether it was not a limited recognition.

In other words, the condition for a grey background and no ranking number to be displayed was no IMF data . In that version, countries with individual IMF data, such as Taiwan and Kosovo, were properly ranked, and countries without IMF data, such as North Korea and Syria, had a grey background.

To resolve this current strange situation, I would like to make a suggestion.

In all four pages of GDP, GDP per capita, PPP, and PPP per capita, the criteria for not ranking numbering is set to no IMF data .

This is the same state as the previous version.

No matter what conclusion is reached regarding how to number the rankings in this discussion, I hope that the handling on all four pages will be unified.
