User:Neier/Sandbox/Population

This page demonstrates meta-templates, and how they can be used to standardize the display of population statistics in various ways.

Since there is a controversy over the server impact of meta-templates like this, no decision has been made yet if they should be used for the Japan cities or not. It will be discussed soon.

The first four lines show

1. Population and Date the population was updated in the main template
2. Population with no other info
3. Population with a small as of Date for info boxes, etc
4. Population with a normal-sized as of Date for text paragraphs.

Everything after the first four lines is filler; but, the idea should be clear.

* City1 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City1|Date}}
* City1 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City1|None}}
* City2 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City2|SmallAsof}}
* City2 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City2|Asof}}
* City2 without the date is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City2|None}}
* City3 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City3|None}}
* City4 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City4|None}}
* City5 is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|City5|None}}

The population of [[Sendai, Miyagi|Sendai]] is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|Sendai|Asof}}

The population of [[Higashimatsushima, Miyagi|Higashi Matsushima]] is {{Population of Miyagi municipalities|Higashi Matsushima|Asof}}.
