Revision as of 21:22, 5 September 2012

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Update. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Any breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Misplaced Pages talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you.

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This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.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=January 2025}}

To mark a section, do not use this template; use the {{Update section}} template instead.

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

Article	This article needs to be updated. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. Please help update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. (January 2025)
Category	This category needs to be updated. Please help update this category to reflect recent events or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. (January 2025)
Template	This template needs to be updated. Please help update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page. (January 2025)

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

Example

{{Update|documentation}}

Parts of this template (those related to documentation) need to be updated. Please help update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page.

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• If there is a dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with {{Out of date}}.
• {{Update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date.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• See Misplaced Pages:Template_messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.
