 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Out of date.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[edit]
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was created to deal with articles and sections in which the factual accuracy of the article may be compromised due to out-of-date information.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[edit]
The default word "article" is replaceable: {{Out of date|table}} produces:
 | This table's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information.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A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place: {{Out of date|article|date=June 2024}} produces:
| This article's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information.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 This can be replaced: {{Out of date|see=[[Forum:Index]]}} produces:
| This article's factual accuracy may be compromised because of out-of-date information.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. |
Alternatives[edit]
- If there is no dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with Template:Update.
- Template:Update after is for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date. It now links to the same category that Template:Update does, once the specified date has passed.
- Template:As of is for individual statements that may become out-of-date at an unknown future date.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
