Template:Census 2021 AUS/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is possible that this template has been made obsolete in some instances by Module:PopulationFromWikidata/doc. Further investigation is needed before a blanket recommendation for that module instead of this template. If the article only includes population data, it might be better to use only the module, and not this template. If the article includes population data and other demographic information, the module and the template should both be used. The only minor issue that remains is that this causes duplicate citations ([1] and [2] instead of the preferred 1 "a" and "b").

This template allows for the inclusion of direct web links to official 2021 census data into Australian geographical articles. Due to periodic changes/redesigns on the ABS website, these links may change: the advantage of using the template is therefore that all articles using this template will migrate with it.

Usage

[edit]

General

[edit]
{{Census 2021 AUS|id= |name= |access-date= |quick=on}}

Lists only

[edit]
{{Census 2021 AUS|id= |link=yes}}

Parameters

[edit]
id
ABS ID for the region (note: may be different from 2011, so don't convert across without checking.)
name
ABS Name for the region: e.g. Raymond Terrace.
access-date
Optional parameter to record date accessed in the form dd mmmm yyyy (e.g. 25 November 2024).
quick
This is an optional but widely used parameter. When added at the end, generally as |quick=on, it forces QuickStats instead of a link to the "Census Community Profiles" page.
link
This is an optional parameter that causes a bare link to be generated instead of a citation if |link=yes and is for use in lists such as List of cities in Australia by population#50 largest urban centres by population. When this is the case, the only necessary parameter is id. Other parameters will not be used. This functionality is similar to that provided by {{Census 2006 AUS link}}.
