Template:Swiss populations sub
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.
Usage change
The template uses the following syntax
{{Swiss populations|ISO code|SFOS number 1|SFOS number 2|...|SFOS number 10}}
Parameters change
- ISO code is the ISO code for Switzerland followed by a "-" and the ISO code for the Canton e.g.
CH-BEwould be for any municipality in the Canton of Bern. For a list of the 26 cantons, see List of Swiss Cantons. - SFOS number is the Community Identification Number for each municipality. It is found in the individual municipality's infobox. ex.
0351is the code for Bern. Larger political organizations also have a SFOS number, for exampleB0246is the number for the Bern-Mittelland administrative district.
Example change
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.
