Template:Data Australia

Updates

Due to the precision used in the automatic calculation of the currently projected population, a rounding error occurs in the output and this needs to be compensated for periodically in order to reduce this error, or else the error will compound over time. This is most easily achieved by using the figures presented at the official population clock at 00:00 UTC on any day.

This template is used in a number of articles and these need to be checked and corrected as shown in the following table to ensure consistency:

Article	Area to be updated	Details of update
Template:Data Australia	template data	popbase (population at 00:00 UTC), date and pop increase (86400 / rate = popinc)
Australia	infobox	citation access-date
Demographics of Australia	prose	citation access-date
List of countries and dependencies by population	—	Article should be checked to ensure template has not been removed
List of countries and dependencies by population density	—	Article should be checked to ensure template has not been removed
List of member states of the Commonwealth of Nations by population	—	Article should be checked to ensure template has not been removed

For consistency, it is recommended that the following edit summary be used when updating articles:
