embedded and prev_name1_ref do not work

edit

@Underlying lk: you removed embedded in this revision and prev_name1_ref in this revision, which causes "unknown parameter" warning in some articles, e.g. in Veliky Novgorod. It looks like some other parameters should be used now, but I cannot guess which ones. Is there any way to fix this issue?

It looks like Underlying lk is not around. I have restored |embedded=. I don't know the history of |prev_name1=, but it looks like it has not displayed in this template for at least five years. It puts articles in Category:Russian inhabited locality articles with obsolete place names. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:29, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you very much, it seems to work now. I'll try to remove the remaining "unknown parameters" from that article. Alexschneider250 (talk) 21:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

2021 census?

edit

The 2021 census was three years ago, but the template only allows data from the 2010 census, which is very outdated. Why has no one bothered to update the template yet? 2003:6:21F9:988A:BD03:4391:81F1:256B (talk) 12:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've wondered the same thing. The closest thing would be to use the pop_latest and pop_latest_date parameters, but those are for estimates, not for actual census figures. Wonder if someone will get around to it eventually. Procyon117 (talk) 18:11, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Ran into this problem today at Irkutsk. This template ought to be merged with Template:Infobox settlement. Ed [talk] [OMT] 23:33, 6 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
I would not object to that. Procyon117 (talk) 06:01, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
It has been already merged to Infobox:Settlement, against objections of people who actually worked with the template (including myself), and this is exactly the reason it is not functioning properly, and there is nobody around who can easily fix it.

It hasn't been merged, but converted to a wrapper. If it had been deleted and the basic template used, this wouldn't be an issue nor would anything need to be changed. Gonnym (talk) 10:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
^That. Ed [talk] [OMT] 21:36, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Anyone is welcome to edit the sandbox to add 2020 census parameters. – Jonesey95 (talk) 11:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

pop_latest

edit

Why I dont see pop_latest data in Magadan infobox, bit instead I see an outdated ref to 2018? --Altenmann >talk 19:58, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Also, weirdly I see in the footnote list " Оценка численности населения на 2024 г.", but I dont see where this footnote is attached. --Altenmann >talk 20:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

The template code prefers the 2018 Wikidata info over a manually entered parameter. Per this conversation and the above, this template needs a code update, tested in the sandbox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
