 | This template is outdated. Please update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. |
 | This template is used on approximately 23,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.
- To specify what parts of the page need updating, use the first unnamed parameter (or name it
|part=or number it|1=):{{Update|part=the later-life and death material and the [[#Legacy|Legacy]] section|date=November 2024}} - To use the template in one specific section, and change its wording to refer to the section instead of the page, use
|sectionand insert the template at the top of the section:{{Update|section|date=November 2024}} - To display the date (in whatever format) of the last significant update to the page, use the second unnamed parameter (or name it
|updated=or number it|2=):{{Update|updated=24 October 2024|date=November 2024}}- Note: The parameter name or number must be used if the first numbered/unnamed parameter is not used.
- To add the date when the tag was added (this is used for cleanup categorization), use:
{{Update|date=November 2024}}- You can also do:
{{Update|{{subst:DATE}}}}
- You can also do:
- To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use
|inaccurate=yes:{{Update|inaccurate=yes|date=November 2024}} - To link to a particular section of the talk page where the update is being discussed, use
|talk=Section title(|talksection=and|discuss=are equivalent to|talk=):{{Update|talk=Shall we update this for 2024?|date=November 2024}} - To display a reason (after the added phrase "In particular:"), use
|reason=a short comment here, e.g.{{Update|reason=Is missing the November 2024 election results|date=November 2024}} - These parameters can be combined, of course:
{{Update|part=The [[#Production|Production]] section and follow-on material|reason=the film is released, so this needs a "Critical reception" section, too|inaccurate=yes|talk=Post-release updating|updated=August 2024|date=November 2024}}
Example
{{Update|documentation|date=November 2024}}
| Parts of this template (those related to documentation) are outdated. Please update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. |
The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly:
| Article |
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Category |
| ||
| Template |
|
{{Update|section}} produces:
| Article |
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Category |
| ||
| Template |
|
This template will add mainspace articles to Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating (this category is not populated by pages in other namespaces).
For factual inaccuracies, stronger wording is used and mainspace articles will be added to Category:Articles with obsolete information.
{{Update|inaccurate=yes}}
| This article is outdated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. |
