قالب:English district population

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

This is a group of templates that provide an easy method to link to population statistics for English districts. The templates are updated from time to time as the Office for National Statistics (ONS) releases new data, thus it should not be necessary to manually update the articles or their references. Districts are identified by passing either an ONS code or a GSS code as a parameter. The Office for National Statistics began using the new GSS codes in preference to the old ONS codes in January 2011. As of July 2012 these templates support both codes, but future updates may only be available for the GSS codes, hence use of the GSS code is preferred. A list of both codes is at ONS coding system.

The templates are:

{{English district population}} – gives the population for a district
{{English district total}} – gives the current total number of districts
{{English district rank}} – where the district lies in a list ordered by population (highest first)
{{English district density}} – gives the district's population density (per square kilometre)
{{English district area}} – gives the district's area (square kilometres)
{{English district area rank}} – where the district lies in a list ordered by area (highest first). This can change as districts are amalgamated into new Unitary Authorities.

The following also apply to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland:

{{United Kingdom district population citation}} – gives a citation for the source of population data
{{United Kingdom statistics year}} – gives the year to which the estimate applies (not the year it was generated)
