Template:Switzerland area data/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Switzerland area data.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This metadata contains the area of all the Municipalities, Districts and Cantons of Switzerland. It is based on the Swiss populations data template and largely works in the same way, requiring the input of the SFOS code (or the cantonal ISO code) and returning the area in hectares for the corresponding territory.

For area, this data template is read by the {{Swiss area}} template. To create References the syntax is as follows:

Municipality - {{Swiss area data||Source}}
Municipality - {{Swiss area data||QUELLE}}

District - {{Swiss area data||Source-BZ}}
District - {{Swiss area data||QUELLE-BZ}}

Canton - {{Swiss area data||Source-KT}}

Note: 1) For creating a Reference any valid number can be included between the 2 pipes (eg. "| B0101 |", "| ZH |" etc.) but the template ignores the entry
Note: 2) QUELLE and Source are both included for backward compatibility and are equivalent as long as the information inside this template is the same.

eg.

| QUELLE-KT = <ref name="Area_Canton">[https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home/statistiken/raum-umwelt/bodennutzung-bedeckung/gesamtspektrum-regionalen-stufen/Kantone.assetdetail.1420913.html Arealstatistik Land Cover - Kantone und Grossregionen nach 6 Hauptbereichen] accessed 27 October 2017</ref>
