Suggested new page: Timeline of Canadian budgets

Hi Tompw,

I've used the Timeline of Canadian Elections page many times and I'm profoundly grateful. However, for economic analysis it would be even more helpful to have a timeline of Canadian budgets, at the very least from 1981, to correspond to the RBC Fiscal Tables (http://www.rbc.com/economics/economic-reports/pdf/provincial-forecasts/prov_fiscal.pdf).

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red456789 (talk • contribs) 21:47, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

GO Station ridership

Hello, thank you for updating several GO Station articles with 2018 ridership. I just want to point out that the ridership from your source is only from the period of April–November 2018, and not for the whole year. Would it be possible to indicate that in the station infoboxes? BLAIXX 22:20, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Canada census template

Hi Tompw. Thanks for your efforts updating all census info. Note though that the field "2021_total_pvt_dwell" in {{Canada census}} calls for total private dwellings, not private dwellings occupied by usual residents. If you use this latter value, the data will no longer be comparable, since the different years show different data. Thanks for your diligence in this matter. P 1 9 9  ✉ 20:04, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Tompw. Again, thanks for updating the census info. I see you started using the new parameter I added for "occupied dwellings".
Just wanted to make you aware that you should not add the dollar sign ($) when adding household income. This is already done by the template. So, it is now displayed twice at all your edits. Regards, -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:01, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Well, it's a good thing I only did ~100 in the first trance! Thankfully, AWB has a find-and-replace function that made this easy to fix. FYI, I have a long-term aim of using WikiData for this info, so that I won't have to go through all this again in five four year. There's a bunch of stuff I need to do over there before that can happen; so in the meantime I'm updating existing uses of the template. Tompw (talk) 14:23, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that has been my goal as well. I fully support the linking to WD! It is so tedious and slow updating all 3500 municipalities (not to speak of higher level jurisdictions) after every census. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help with that. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 19:03, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

I've figured out how to do bulk data uploads to Wikidata, but one of the intermediate steps is tagging the various Census (sub)divisions with the relevant Q-code in Wikidata. If I left a list on my userpage there, would you be willing to add those? There's ~50 CDs that need it. 19:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC) Tompw (talk) 19:13, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
