Template:Census 2021 AUS

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

This template allows for the inclusion of direct web links to official 2021 census data into Australian geographical articles. Due to periodic changes/redesigns on the ABS website, these links may change: the advantage of using the template is therefore that all articles using this template will migrate with it.

Usage

General

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> Australian Bureau of Statistics (28 June 2022). 2021 Census QuickStats https://www.abs.gov.au/census/find-census-data/quickstats/2021/. {{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help) </syntaxhighlight>

Lists only

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> [1] </syntaxhighlight>

Parameters

id

ABS ID for the region (note: may be different from 2011, so don't convert across without checking.)

name

ABS Name for the region: e.g. Raymond Terrace.

access-date

Optional parameter to record date accessed in the form dd mmmm yyyy (e.g. 6 December 2025).

quick

This is an optional but widely used parameter. When added at the end, generally as |quick=on, it forces QuickStats instead of a link to the "Census Community Profiles" page.

link

This is an optional parameter that causes a bare link to be generated instead of a citation if |link=yes and is for use in lists such as List of cities in Australia by population#50 largest urban centres by population. When this is the case, the only necessary parameter is id. Other parameters will not be used. This functionality is similar to that provided by {{Census 2006 AUS link}}.
