Template:NOMIS2021
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=cs2to 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=cs2does this automatically. - fewer-links: use
|fewer-links=yesto 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=yeswith|id=to produce an external link with just the list number shown;|short=yessuppresses the display of other parameters.
Examples
{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011}} displays as:
{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|short=yes}} displays as:
{{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=19 May 2025}} displays as:
- UK Census (2021). "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)". Nomis. Office for National Statistics. Retrieved 19 May 2025.
{{NOMIS2021|id=E06000011|title=East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority|ref=none|accessdate=19 May 2025|mode=cs2}} displays as:
- UK Census (2021), "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)", Nomis, Office for National Statistics, retrieved 19 May 2025
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.
- UK Census (2021). "2021 Census Area Profile – East Riding of Yorkshire Local Authority (E06000011)". Nomis. Office for National Statistics.
