=== How to see the module in action === Currently the module will only give a population figure to the Infobox if one has not been manually added via the Infobox Australian place template ''pop'' field. This means if you want to see the module in action for a particular place article, you should follow these steps: # Pick a Wikipedia place article and check that the linked Wikidata item has a [[w:Module:PopulationFromWikidata#Census_data|valid population claim]] (most now do, but some values will be old because not all 2021 Census data has been released yet). # If the Wikidata item looks good, then edit the Infobox Australian place template part of the article. Remove the ''pop'' value and replace with a comment like: ''β<!--Leave blank to draw the latest automatically from Wikidata-->β.'' Remove the ''pop_year'' and ''pop_footnotes'' fields. Check if the old ''pop_footnotes'' reference had been used elsewhere in the article. # Check the output in the article Infobox. If the output is not as expected then edit the Wikidata item or if itβs really broken, get in touch [[w:Module_talk:PopulationFromWikidata|here.]] Here's an [[Maylands, Western Australia|example]] of an article with Infobox using the module, and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maylands,_Western_Australia&curid=1336427&diff=1099730354&oldid=1066133969 diff] of the edit made. The list of articles using population values from Wikidata (via this module) is [[w:Category:Australian_place_articles_using_Wikidata_population_values|here]].
