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
 * City1 is
 * City2 is
 * City2 is
 * City2 without the date is
 * City3 is
 * City4 is
 * City5 is

The population of Sendai is

The population of Higashi Matsushima is.
