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 |
| Demography of Australia | prose | citation access-date |
| List of countries and dependencies by population | N/A | Article should be checked to ensure template has not been removed |
| List of member states of the Commonwealth of Nations by population | N/A | 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:
- Australian population estimate has been updated based on current data at official population clock to compensate for rounding error
References
- ↑ The referenced page states: "This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 30 September 2017 and assumes growth since then of ... an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 24 seconds. ... As of 28/03/2018 the population clock was updated to correct the population projection." This translates to an average daily increase of approximately 1028.571 people.
