This template can be used to feed area and population figures from Wikidata to fields in templates such as {{Infobox settlement}}.
Population
{{France metadata Wikidata}} works by checking if the Wikidata entity linked to the article has a population (P1082) statement dating to 2021 or 2020 and sourced by an external reference (not imported from Wikimedia project (P143) or similar properties). If the condition is verified, the population figure is displayed.
Usage
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes}} (for communes and the municipal arrondissements of Paris, Marseille and Lyon)
OR
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_footnotes2}} (for departments, arrondissements, cantons and associated or delegated communes)
OR
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_total}}
OR
{{France metadata Wikidata|population_as_of}}
Updating the figures
See the procedure explained on Wikipedia:Uploading metadata to Wikidata. The mappings between Wikidata IDs for municipalities and municipality keys are available through this Wikidata Query.
