Template:Infobox census
This infobox is for use on any census pages. You can list up to ten different census topics, specific the type of subdivision (state/territory etc) that the results are given in, link to the previous and next census, and change the scope of the census.
If |region= is not blank, it will use a "Region" label for the scope of the census, otherwise it will default to a "Country" label. By scope, we're referring to the geographical area completing the census.
A |date= is needed for the succession panel to display correctly. The data can be as broad as needed (for example, it could be just a year), but it needs to not be blank.
