Template:Update/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:23, 24 July 2010

This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.

To mark a section, use:

{{Update|type=section}}

To add the date when the tag was added, use:

{{Update|date=November 2024}}

If there is a dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with {{Out of date}}.
{{Update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date.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See Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.
