 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Update. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on 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This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.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=June 2024}}- To use the template in one specific section, and change its wording to refer to the section instead of the page, use
|section(this is a special case of|1=a.k.a.|part=, above): {{Update|section|date=June 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=1 May 2024|date=June 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=June 2024}}- You can also do:
{{Update|{{subst:DATE}}}} - To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use
|inaccurate=yes: {{Update|inaccurate=yes|date=June 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=June 2024}}- To display a reason (after the added phrase "In particular:"), use
|reason=a short comment here, e.g.: {{Update|reason=Is missing the June 2024 election results|date=June 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=March 2024 |date=June 2024}}
Example
{{Update|documentation|date=June 2024}}
 | Parts of this template (those related to documentation) need to be updated. 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.
For factual inaccuracies, stronger wording is used and mainspace articles will be added to Category:Articles with obsolete information.
{{Update|inaccurate=yes}}
| This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. |
Alternatives
- {{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.
