==Example==
{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|documentation|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|documentation}}

The template detects which [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] it is used in and changes accordingly:
{| class="wikitable"
! Article
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|type=article|demospace=main|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|-
! Category
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|type=category|demospace=category|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|-
! Template
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|type=template|demospace=template|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|}

{{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section}} produces:
{| class="wikitable"
! Article
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section|type=article|demospace=main|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|-
! Category
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section|type=category|demospace=category|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|-
! Template
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section|type=template|demospace=template|date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
|}

This template will add [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]] articles to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating]] (this category is not populated by pages in other [[WP:namespace|namespace]]s).

For factual inaccuracies, stronger wording is used and mainspace articles will be added to [[:Category:Articles with obsolete information]].

==Alternatives==
* {{tl|Update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date. It is a more recent and preferred alternative to [[Wikipedia:As of]]. It also adds articles to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating]].
* See [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive]] for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.
