Motivation

"The ASCRG is for use in collecting, aggregating and disseminating data relating to the religious affiliation of the Australian population. It is used to classify religious affiliation data from Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) surveys and the Census of Population and Housing. Its use is also recommended in administrative data collections where there is a need to collect religious affiliation."

A classification of religious bodies/religions by the peak statistical body of Australia. I'm not aware of an official formatter URL. Our religion items often don't have many good identifiers. 99of9 (talk) 06:15, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support @99of9: I compared the ASCRG 2011 vs ASCRG 2016 dataset and there appear to be some subtle differences that may necessitate clarifying this property is for the 2016 ASCRG, not 2011 ASCRG. For example, item Rastafari (Q101462) would have a new property ASCRG-2011 value of "6994", with qualifier of subject named as (P1810) "Rastafarianism". It would also then have a new property ASCRG-2016 value of "6994", with qualifier of subject named as (P1810) "Rastafari". --Dhx1 (talk) 15:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your double support. I'm happy to put 2016 in the name for now, and figure out if we need a new property after a later release, or if it is just circling in on a better and better classification (in which case we can just make updates and deprecate older values). --99of9 (talk) 04:17, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
