Template:Population WD/doc

Shows the most recent population size of a place, according to Wikidata. If no argument is provided, it will show the population size of the current article subject, otherwise of the article title stated in the first unnamed parameter. It also works if the article is moved, by following the redirection.

A purpose of this template is to avoid advanced code in Wikipedia articles, and use a comprehensible property name and article title instead of pid and qid codes. However, the template may also be called with a parameter named qid. It may for example be used in population tables.

Usage

Example:

{{population WD}}

shows the population of the current article subject.

These two places have the same Wikidata label Stockholm:

{{population WD|Stockholm}}

gives the population of Stockholm: 984,748 (evaluation, 2022) .

{{population WD|Stockholm (town), Wisconsin}}

gives the population of Stockholm (town), Wisconsin: 218 (census, 2020 United States Census, 2020) .

The redirection page Stockholm, Sweden also works:

{{population WD|Stockholm, Sweden}}

gives: 984,748 (evaluation, 2022) .

A last option is to use the qid code of Stockholm (Q1754) Stockholm (Q1754), which however makes the wikicode less comprehensible:

{{population WD|qid=q1754}}

results in: 984,748 (evaluation, 2022) .
