Duplication of task goals if not task name

So... this task is pretty much an exact duplicate of CSV data manipulation which has been around for 7+ years and has some 85 entries. Admittedly this task has slightly better defined goals and is less trivial, but a large percentage of the code from there could be lifted and used unchanged here.

Some overlap of tasks is inevitable, and honestly I think this one is probably more useful to demonstrate working with real-world data than the other. I hesitate to make any unilateral decisions (unlike with the recent deluge of "Find words containing whatever" tasks that we've been hit with,) but I also don't want to needlessly proliferate trivial variations. Thoughts? --Thundergnat (talk) 19:16, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Missing fields in the CSV files. There might be a lot of overlap, but no "exact duplication", and handling of missing fields, although not highlighted, is a significant difference I think. --Paddy3118 (talk) 19:40, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
