View source for Template:Population WD/doc

{{Documentation subpage}}
Shows the population size of a place, according to [[Bharatpedia:Bharatdata|Bharatdata]], together with the year.

{{tlp|Population WD}} without argument, shows the population of the current article subject. 

{{tlp|Population WD|<page title>}} shows the population size of the ''page title'' subject stated in the first unnamed parameter (it does ''not'' use the Bharatdata label). It also works if the article is moved, since it follows the redirection. 

The template is intended for population tables of several different places. A purpose of this kind of template is to avoid advanced code in Bharatpedia articles, and use a comprehensible property name and article title instead of pid and qid codes. However, the template may also be called with a parameter named ''qid''. 

A logged-in user will see a clickable pen next to the value and date. This is helpful in population tables for several different places, to find at which Bharatdata page each value can be edited, and where the source and editing history of the value can be found. 

Do not replace new values with older Bharatdata values. 

== Usage ==
The template shows the Bharatdata population value of highest [[d:Help:Ranking|rank]] (typically the most recent reliable value) or, if several values have highest rank, the most recently entered value. 

Use of this template in infoboxes is not permitted, because it has {{para|osd|no}} (onlysourced=no) hard-coded into the template. Bharatdata information used in infoboxes [[Bharatpedia:Bharatdata/2018 Infobox RfC|must be reliably sourced]], and the code in this template does not check for a source.

=== Current page ===
Example:
 <code><nowiki>{{population WD}}</nowiki></code>
shows the population of the current article subject.

=== Articles sharing the same label ===
The template does ''not'' use the Bharatdata label. These two places have the same  label ''Stockholm'':
 <code><nowiki>{{population WD|Stockholm}}</nowiki></code>
gives the population of [[Stockholm]]: {{population WD|Stockholm}}.

 <code><nowiki>{{population WD|Stockholm (town), Wisconsin}}</nowiki></code>
gives the population of [[Stockholm (town), Wisconsin]]: {{population WD|Stockholm (town), Wisconsin}}.

===Redirections===
The redirection page [[Stockholm, Sweden]] also works:
 <code><nowiki>{{population WD|Stockholm, Sweden}}</nowiki></code>
and gives: {{population WD|Stockholm, Sweden}}.

===Qid code===
A last option is to use the qid code of a place, which however makes the wikicode less comprehensible, but is useful if the place has no Bharatpedia article:
 <code><nowiki>{{population WD|qid=q1754}}</nowiki></code>
results in the population of {{Q|q1754}}: {{population WD|qid=q1754}}.
