This is a documentation subpage for Template:Out of date. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
Usage
This template was created to deal with articles and sections in which the factual accuracy of the article may be compromised due to out-of-date information.
This template will add articles to Category:Articles with obsolete information.
Formatting
The default word "article" is replaceable: {{Out of date|table}} produces:
This table's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information. There may be additional information on the talk page. |
A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place: {{Out of date|article|date=June 2024}} produces:
This article's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information. There may be additional information on the talk page. (June 2024) |
By default, the template tells you to see the Talk Page. This can be replaced: {{Out of date|see=[[Forum:Index]]}} produces:
This article's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information. There may be additional information on the forum. |
If the article can be updated to remove the out-of-date information, then the template can include this in a note. {{Out of date|update=1}} produces:
This article's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information. There may be additional information on the talk page. |
Alternatives

- Template:As of is for individual statements that may become out-of-date at an unknown future date. It categorises statements by the date from which the statement originated.
- Disputes unrelated to the age of a reference or statement can make use of templates such as
