Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 6,500 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

This template allows for the inclusion of direct web links to official 2016 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

General

{{Census 2016 AUS|id= |name= |access-date= |quick=on}}

Lists only

{{Census 2016 AUS|id= |link=yes}}

Parameters

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 (State Suburb).
access-date: Optional parameter to record date accessed in the form dd mmmm yyyy (e.g. 9 May 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}}.
