Usage
[edit]{{Spain 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 imported from Wikimedia project (P143) or similar properties). If the condition is verified, the figure is displayed.
Examples
[edit]{{Spain metadata Wikidata|population_total}}
- Returns the total population from Wikidata, defaulting to 2018 census if available, otherwise using latest value
{{Spain metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes}}
- Returns reference to support total population value
{{Spain metadata Wikidata|population_as_of}}
- Returns year of census displayed
{{spain metadata Wikidata|area_km2_total}}
- Returns the area in square kilometers from Wikidata
{{Spain metadata Wikidata|area_footnotes}}
- Returns the reference to support area value
{{Spain 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
