Template:NOMIS2021/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:NOMIS2021.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

The Nomis website is run by the University of Durham on behalf of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), providing a database of UK labour market statistics. This template is used to provide a link to the Nomis database local area reports, based on the key statistics from the 2021 United Kingdom census. It can be used to replace citations linked to content at the ONS Local statistics site which is no longer available.

Usage

Required parameter

id: the record identifier on the Nomis website. This a Government Statistical Service (GSS) code.

To obtain the value for this parameter:

Search for and open the required report on the Nomis site, for example "East Riding of Yorkshire", at the
Nomis 2021 Census Profile for areas in England and Wales search page
The code is included in the body of the report and also in the URL. In this example the URL for East Riding of Yorkshire is:
https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/sources/census_2021/report?compare=E06000011
Copy the code (in this case E06000011) and add it to the template.

Optional parameters

Additional information for the title:

title: additional text description such as the name of the place, it is recommended to copy the title of the Nomis report. eg "East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority".
author: defaults to UK Census, but can be changed to another name if desired.
author-link: defaults to 2021 United Kingdom census, but is not set by default if author is set to something other than UK Census.
date: the date provided by Office for National Statistics; can be a full or partial date.
orig-year: the date information was first provided by Office for National Statistics; only appears if |date= is also used.
accessdate: the date a Wikipedia editor retrieved information from the Nomis database.
mode: defaults to |mode=cs1; set to |mode=cs2 to provide consistency with citation style 2, as produced by {{citation}}.
postscript: controls the closing punctuation for the citation; defaults to a period (.); for no terminating punctuation, set to |postscript=none, however using |mode=cs2 does this automatically.
fewer-links: use |fewer-links=yes to remove repeated wikilinks where the template is used more than once in an article.
ref: defaults to author (Census 2021) and the id, but can be reset to any value.
short: use |short=yes with |id= to produce an external link with just the list number shown; |short=yes suppresses the display of other parameters.

Examples

{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011}} displays as:

UK Census (2021). "2021 Census Area Profile – (E06000011)". Nomis. Office for National Statistics.

{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|short=yes}} displays as:

E06000011

{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|title=East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority}} displays as:

UK Census (2021). "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)". Nomis. Office for National Statistics.

{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|title=East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority|accessdate=2 December 2024}} displays as:

UK Census (2021). "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)". Nomis. Office for National Statistics. Retrieved 2 December 2024.

{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|title=East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority|ref=none|accessdate=2 December 2024|mode=cs2}} displays as:

UK Census (2021), "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)", Nomis, Office for National Statistics, retrieved 2 December 2024

If a short citation is required (not to be confused with |short=) and one of the {{harv}} templates or {{sfn}} is used then {{harv|Census 2021|record id}} will link the short reference to the long one. For example, {{harv|Census 2021|E06000011}} produces (Census 2021 & E06000011) that links to the 'East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority' example above. This is different from the standard use of the {{harv}} that links using the parameters 'author' and 'date' or 'year'.

Some articles have multiple entries. |fewer-links=yes can be used to remove the repeated internal wikilinks from any additional and subsequent instances of the template:
{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|title=East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority|ref=none}}
{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|title=East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority|ref=none|accessdate=|fewer-links=yes}} displays as:

UK Census (2021). "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)". Nomis. Office for National Statistics.
