Template:Philippine census reference

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

Usage

This template requires the first unnamed parameter, which is:

{{PH census|yyyy}}

where yyyy is the required year (any census year, 1903–2020)

or

{{PH census|current}}

which returns the reference for the latest census data. Thus, new census data does not need to be updated manually on pages.

NB current can be used only on a page whose Wikidata entry includes a population statement, complete with qualifier P585 (point-in-time). The template returns the Wikidata information for the supplied year.

Examples:

• {{PH census|2010}} produces
• {{PH census|current}} produces

An optional named parameter can be used to specify the region instead of the default, for instance, when the generic reference is needed instead of the region-specific one.

For all Philippine places, the PSGC is included on Wikidata. Therefore, the correct region section is the first two digits of the PSGC code.

PSGC = rrppmmbbb, e.g. 072228003 –

rr region = 07 (Central Visayas),

pp province = 22 (Cebu),

mm municipality / city = 28 (Madridejos),

bbb barangay = 003 (Kaongkod).
