[189, 190] †
comment: The exact value is not known; [1] records this first open diagonal $s=2$ case as $189$ or $190$.
Definition
The Zarankiewicz number $z(m,n;s,t)$ [1] [2] is the maximum number of edges in a subgraph of $K_{m,n}$ that contains no copy of $K_{s,t}$ as a subgraph, with the $s$ vertices of $K_{s,t}$ in the part of size $m$ and the $t$ vertices in the part of size $n$.
Parameters
$m$
—   left part size ($m\geq 1$)
$n$
—   right part size ($n\geq 1$)
$s$
—   left forbidden part size ($s\geq 1$)
$t$
—   right forbidden part size ($t\geq 1$)
Formulas
(1)
$z(m,n;s,t)=z(n,m;t,s)$.
(2)
If $m<s$ or $n<t$, then $z(m,n;s,t)=mn$.
(3)
If $m=s$ and $n\geq t$, then $z(s,n;s,t)=(s-1)n+t-1$. By symmetry, if $n=t$ and $m\geq s$, then $z(m,t;s,t)=(t-1)m+s-1$.
Comments
(4)
The appendix of [1] writes $z(m,n;s)$ for $z(m,n;s,s)$ and $z(n;s)$ for $z(n,n;s,s)$. Every entry currently stored is diagonal in this sense.
(5)
The diagonal entries are stored with $m\leq n$, using $z(m,n;s,s)=z(n,m;s,s)$.
(6)
The $s=t=2$ diagonal sequence stored here is OEIS A072567 [3]. OEIS A001197 [4] tabulates the least number of ones that forces a $2\times 2$ all-one submatrix in an $n\times n$ zero-one matrix, which is $z(n,n;2,2)+1$.
(7)
The appendix also gives one-sided upper bounds for diagonal values. Those rows are omitted unless the source marks the value as exact or gives an explicit two-sided range.
(8)
In [1], bold entries in the tables for $3\leq s\leq6$ are exact values; unbolded entries are upper bounds.

Diagonal Ramsey numbers —   also records a Ramsey-type graph quantity known exactly only in small cases; [1] uses Zarankiewicz numbers to bound bipartite Ramsey numbers, the analogous thresholds for edge-coloured complete bipartite graphs
Ramsey numbers of complete graphs —   belongs to the same Ramsey-theory area; this table stores an extremal function rather than a least-forcing threshold
Data properties
Entries are of type: integer
Sources of data: [1]
How they were obtained:

The exact integers and the interval $[189,190]$ are transcribed from the appendix tables in [1]. The diagonal values $z(n,n;2,2)$ come from Table 3. For $3\leq s\leq6$, the entries are precisely the values marked in bold in Tables 4 through 7.

The generator checks the source transcription against a separately parsed copy of those LaTeX tables, checks the symmetry convention on every entry, and checks the formula for the rows with one part equal to the forbidden part size. The interval width records uncertainty about the exact integer, not numerical error.

Table is complete: no (it holds the diagonal values $z(n,n;2,2)$ for $1\leq n\leq32$ from Table 3 of [1], and the exact diagonal entries marked in bold for $3\leq s\leq6$ and $6\leq m\leq n\leq18$ in Tables 4 through 7; one-sided upper bounds in those tables are not entries)
