I agree. I am hoping that a source template for British census's is
available soon. For now I am using the Jurisdiction Province for the
English county on the master source and jurisdiction County on the source
detail for (usually) the town. I am putting the Series, Piece, Folio
and Page (add Book for 1841) in the page field on the source detail with
the expectation that I will need to do a conversion in the future. BTW I am
mostly a lumper

Hi Jenny,
The "Goddess of Sourcing" doesn't always understand non US sources so I
suggest following her principles rather than her examples.
As you know UK Censuses are fully described with Series, Piece, Folio and
Page (add Book for 1841)
I think you may be starting with the wrong template unless something has
changed drastically for the worse since I tested. I remember no problem
writing Census Sources.
Yes I think it has changed <sigh> and looks unusable without overrides.

I would be interested to know what people think of the new SourceWriter in
relation to non-US Censuses.
The vast majority of my Censuses are England and Wales and I don't find
the new fields in Source Details match up terribly well with what I want
to include.
The given fields are as follows:
Collection or Database
Jurisdiction County
Page
Dwelling No
Family
Column
Collection or Database seems superfluous and I am happy to ignore it.
Jurisdiction County is ok, but what about Civil Parish and/or Registration
District and/or Sub-Registration District and/or Enumeration District?
Page is good. Rather then Dwelling No or Family, in England and Wales we
have a Household Schedule No. This could be entered in one of those
fields, but the words "Dwell" and "Fam" are included in the Citation if
those fields are used. Column is not relevant.
Then there are the Class, Piece and Folio numbers which are very important
finding aids for any English or Welsh Census entry. My "old" way of
entering Source Details for a Census was to enter, for example,
HO107-2489-486-4, which is the full Class-Piece-Folio- Page reference. I
am now entering that reference in the Page field, so in the Citation it
reads "p HO107-2489-486-4" which I can live with.
I was not in the habit of including the County, CP, RD, ED or Household No
and I could carry on not doing so, but I wonder what others do, especially
now that I see what the Goddess of Sourcing expects!
