|
| ==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| This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.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 {{para|part}} or number it {{para|1}}): {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|part{{=}}the later-life and death material and the <nowiki>[[#Legacy|Legacy]]</nowiki> section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| * To use the template in one specific section, and change its wording to refer to the section instead of the page, use {{para||section}} and insert the template at the top of the section: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| * To display the date (in whatever format) of the last significant update to the page, use the second unnamed parameter (or name it {{para|updated}} or number it {{para|2}}): {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|updated{{=}}{{#time:j F Y|-1 month}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| *: 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: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| *: You can also do: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{tls|DATE}}}}
| |
| * To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use {{para|inaccurate|yes}}: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|inaccurate{{=}}yes|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| * To link to a particular section of the talk page where the update is being discussed, use {{para|talk|{{var|Section title}}}} ({{para|talksection}} and {{para|discuss}} are equivalent to {{para|talk}}): {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|talk{{=}}Shall we update this for {{CURRENTYEAR}}?|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| * To display a reason (after the added phrase "In particular{{colon}}"), use {{para|reason|{{var|a short comment here}}}}, e.g. {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|reason{{=}}Is missing the {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} election results|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
| * These parameters can be combined, of course: {{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|part{{=}}The <nowiki>[[#Production|Production]]</nowiki> 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{{=}}{{#time:F Y|-3 month}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
| |
|
| |
| ==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]].
| |
|
| |
| {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|2=inaccurate=yes}}
| |
| {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|type=article|demospace=main|inaccurate=yes}}

| ==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.
