Note also that DPL (designated places) and economic regions (ER) have existed since 1996, though I cannot find some of the data for the 1996 or 2001 census years.

Any thoughts about which of these would be useful to incorporate into the template? It's likely optimal to avoid data sets with much different URL structures, as they'll complicate the template needlessly. Mind matrix 19:16, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

2021 Census update request

Can someone please update this template to add an option for the 2021 census? Much appreciated.

I have added the URL for the 2021 census subdivisions only for now (no support for the other "units"). Looks like messy code to me in this template. It'll need a good rewriting. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:30, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
