Year correlation of subdata[edit]

When I look at the subtemplates for each year and check the data vs. the source, it seems as though the data is offset by one year.

For example, the data for 2012 shows the Afghanistan conversion as 19.74576872, but the source gives that as the conversion for 2013 (with 18.6116641462 as the conversion for 2012).

Is this intentional in some yet-to-be explained way? Or maybe there is something non-intuitive about how the conversions are used by the template? Or maybe it is just a mistake? —EncMstr (talk) 04:33, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I've taken ridiculously long to reply. Looking at the revision history for 2012, it appears the data was correct until the last edit. It appears the edit was done in good faith but perhaps was editing the wrong page or looking at the wrong data column. Whatever the case, I've undone that edit, so the data should correspond with the source for 2012 now. --Greenbreen (talk) 06:32, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! —EncMstr (talk) 02:50, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Switch data to 2015[edit]

The current default is to use data from 2014. I am planning to update to 2015 data, but before I do, I wanted to give an opportunity for comment or review to anyone who is interested. I have already created the data template. For anyone who would like to review it, it is Template:International dollars/data/2015. If there are no objections, I am planning to make the switch on or about 3 October 2016. If the switch causes issues on pages which transclude this page, please make me aware of those issues here. --Greenbreen (talk) 09:28, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
