Template:Gss2Wikidata

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

This is a group of templates that provide an easy method to link to population statistics for the following UK subdivisions:

• UK nations and regions
• English districts (including unitary authorities, non-metropolitan districts, metropolitan districts and sui generis councils)
• English non-metropolitan and metropolitan counties
• Scottish council areas
• Welsh unitary authorities
• Northern Ireland districts

Subdivisions are identified by passing a GSS code as a parameter.

This template does not work for English ceremonial counties, Welsh preserved counties or Scottish lieutenancy areas which do not have GSS codes. For English ceremonial counties use Template:English cerem counties.
