Template documentation

Usage

This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.

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

{{Update|date=March 2012}}

To mark a section, use:

{{Update|type=section}}

The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly:

Article
Category	This category is outdated. Please update this category to reflect recent events or newly available information. Please see the talk page for more information. (March 2012)
Template

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

Example

{{Update|documentation}}

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• If there is a dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with {{Out of date}}.
• {{Update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date.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• See Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.
