This template can be used to feed area and population figures from Wikidata to fields in templates such as {{Infobox settlement}}.
Usage
{{France metadata Wikidata}} works by checking if the Wikidata entity linked to the article has a population or area statement and sourced by an external reference (not (P143) or similar properties). If the condition is verified, the figure is displayed.
Examples
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_total}}
- Returns the total population from Wikidata, defaulting to 2022 census if available, otherwise using latest value
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes}}
- Returns reference to support total population value
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_as_of}}
- Returns year of census displayed
{{France metadata Wikidata|area_km2_total}}
- Returns the area in square kilometers from Wikidata
{{France metadata Wikidata|area_footnotes}}
- Returns the reference to support area value
{{France metadata Wikidata|area_as_of}}
- Returns year that the area is valid (if available)
Also: when as_of parameters are given, the template accepts an optional second parameter which is the format of the returned date. Possible values include "y", "ymd", "dmy", and "mdy".
Updating the figures
See the procedure explained on Wikipedia:Uploading metadata to Wikidata. The mappings between Wikidata IDs for municipalities and municipality keys are available through this Wikidata Query.
