View source for Template:Swiss populations Y/doc

{{documentation subpage}}
This template displays only the year from [[:Category:Swiss populations data templates|Swiss population data]], to allow correct formatting in the [[Template:Infobox Swiss town|Swiss town infobox]].

==Usage==

The template uses the following syntax
:<code><nowiki>{{Swiss populations date|ISO code|SFOS number}}</nowiki></code>

==Parameters==
* ''ISO code'' is the [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]] code for Switzerland followed by a "-" and the ISO code for the [[Cantons of Switzerland|Canton]] eg. <code>CH-BE</code> would be for any municipality in the [[Canton of Bern]].  For a list of the 26 cantons, see [[Cantons of Switzerland#List|List of Swiss Cantons]].
* ''SFOS number'' is the [[Community_Identification_Number#Switzerland|Community Identification Number]] for each municipality.  It is found in the individual municipality's infobox.  ex. <code>0351</code> is the code for [[Bern]].  Larger political organizations also have a SFOS number, for example <code>B0246</code> is the number for the [[Bern-Mittelland (administrative district)|Bern-Mittelland administrative district]].

==Examples==
The three different date templates are shown
<pre>
1) {{Swiss populations Y|CH-BE|0301}}

2) {{Swiss populations date|CH-BE|0301}}

3) {{Swiss populations YM|CH-BE|0301}}
