Template:France metadata Wikidata
This template can be used to feed area and population figures from Wikidata to fields in templates such as {{Infobox settlement}}.
Population
{{France metadata Wikidata}} works by checking if the Wikidata entity linked to the article has a 人口 (P1082) statement dating to 2018 or 2017 and sourced by an external reference (not 导入自维基媒体计划 (P143) or similar properties). If the condition is verified, the population figure is displayed.
Usage
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes}} (for communes and the municipal arrondissements of Paris, Marseille and Lyon)
OR
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes2}} (for departments, arrondissements, cantons and associated or delegated communes)
OR
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_total}}
OR
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_as_of}}
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.
