A card combines administrative and geographic facts: population and area from INSEE, altitude from Wikidata, and density calculated for the display. Commune character is assigned using stated rules, including a 600-metre altitude threshold for mountain and a density threshold for urban. The page also says card photos come from Wikimedia Commons, with author and license credits printed on the cards.
