Template:Metadata South Africa

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

This is the parent of a collection of templates used by {{Infobox South African municipality}} and {{Infobox South African town}} to populate various infobox fields with statistical and structural information. The various subtemplates take a single parameter - either a Municipal Demarcation Board municipality code (in the case of the "muni" templates) or a populated place code from the 2001 census (List) - and returns appropriate statistical information about the municipality or place. Errors are logged in this category.

List of subtemplates:

  • {{Metadata South Africa/muni/name}} (Name)
  • {{Metadata South Africa/muni/area}} (Land area in km2)
  • {{Metadata South Africa/muni/population}} (Population - 2011)
  • {{Metadata South Africa/muni/race}} (Racial breakdown of population - 2011)
  • {{Metadata South Africa/muni/langs}} (Linguistic breakdown of population - 2011)
