Template:Update/doc

Usage

This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.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

This template will add articles to Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating.

Alternatives

• If there is a dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with {{Out of date}}.
• {{Update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date.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• See Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Time_sensitive for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.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