Possible errors and omissions
[edit]The behaviour of this template could be negatively affected by:
- Lack of standardisation at Wikidata: Certain demographics can be handled in different ways. If usage is different from the usage expected by this template, it will not be picked up.
- Label changes at Wikidata: This template uses the
{{#property}}magic word to return values. If the labels of these values are changed at Wikidata, and this template is not also changed, it will cease to function properly.
