This is the template sandbox page for Template:Swiss populations sub (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
This template displays the total municipal or district populations for two or more municipalities or districts, from Swiss population data. It only supports up to 20 municipalities. This template was created to provide total populations of sub-district level organization. Because there is an easy way to access municipal and district level populations, but no easy way to get sub-district level populations, this template fills that gap.
The template uses the following syntax
{{Swiss populations|ISO code|SFOS number 1|SFOS number 2|...|SFOS number 10}}
CH-BE
would be for any municipality in the Canton of Bern. For a list of the 26 cantons, see List of Swiss Cantons.0351
is the code for Bern. Larger political organizations also have a SFOS number, for example B0246
is the number for the Bern-Mittelland administrative district.For example, a simple population table of the municipalities in the Circolo di Bellinzona which is part of the Bellinzona district in Switzerland, would look like this.
{| class="wikitable"
! Municipality
! Population
|-
| [[Bellinzona]]
| {{Swiss populations|CH-TI|5002}}
|-
| [[Arbedo-Castione]]
| {{Swiss populations|CH-TI|5001}}
|-
| [[Lumino]]
| {{Swiss populations|CH-TI|5010}}
|-
| Total
| {{Swiss populations sub|CH-TI|5002|5001|5010}}
|-
|}
Which would produce this:
Municipality | Population |
---|---|
Bellinzona | 43,360 |
Arbedo-Castione | 5,024 |
Lumino | 1,587 |
Total |
49,971 |
While an incorrect SFOS number (for example: using 5016, which is no longer assigned to a municipality)
{{Swiss populations sub|CH-TI|5002|5001|5016}}
returns 48,384
but no warning is generated.
