Template:Category as of
 |
This is an administration category. It is used for administration of the Wikipedia project and is not part of the encyclopedia. It contains pages that are not articles, or it groups articles by status rather than content. Do not include this category in content categories.
This is a hidden category. It is not shown on its member pages, unless the corresponding user preference is set. |
Articles in this category contain statements that may become dated originating from {{{1}}}. The statements may need to be updated, removed or edited for perspective. Articles containing older statements are more likely to be dated. This is not a backlog; not all articles in this category will need updating at this point in time.
Use {{As of}} to mark all individual statements that may become dated, this will automatically add them to the appropriate categories. Wherever possible, use {{Update after}} to mark exactly when statements will need updating in addition to using {{As of}}.

[edit] Usage
This template is for creating subcategories of Category:Articles containing potentially dated statements quickly. The subcategories should follow the standard naming convention; "Articles containing potentially dated statements from <Month> <Year>" with the full name for <Month> if used. When creating a new category use one of:
- {{Category as of|year|month}}
- {{Category as of|year}}
where year is the full 4-digit year and month is either the month name or number. For compactness and efficiency, use of the month number is preferred. Do not use <Month> for years before 2005. The earliest separately categorised year should be 1990.
