 | This template needs to be updated. Please help update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. |
| File:Lua-Logo.svg | This template uses Lua: |
This template can be used to mark entire articles or sections that contain outdated information. To assist the editor in the future, include the reason why an article needs updating (using |reason= and what part needs updating using |part=).
Usage
| File:Information icon4.svg |
|
This template can be used to mark articles or sections that have old or out-of-date information. Include the reason why an article needs updating, unless the reason is very obvious.
- To specify what parts of the page need updating, use the first unnamed parameter (or name it
|part=or number it|1=):{{Update|part=the later-life and death material and the [[#Legacy|Legacy]] section|date=December 2024}} - To use the template in one specific section, and change its wording to refer to the section instead of the page, use
|sectionand insert the template at the top of the section:{{Update|section|date=December 2024}} - To display the date (in whatever format) of the last significant update to the page, use the second unnamed parameter (or name it
|updated=or number it|2=):{{Update|updated=28 November 2024|date=December 2024}}- Note: The parameter name or number must be used if the first numbered/unnamed parameter is not used.
- To add the date when the tag was added (this is used for cleanup categorization), use:
{{Update|date=December 2024}}- You can also do:
{{Update|{{subst:DATE}}}}
- You can also do:
- To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use
|inaccurate=yes:{{Update|inaccurate=yes|date=December 2024}}. This is to be distinguished from disputed content, where{{Disputed}}or{{Disputed-section}}should be used instead. - To link to a particular section of the talk page where the update is being discussed, use
|talk=Section title(|talksection=and|discuss=are equivalent to|talk=):{{Update|talk=Shall we update this for 2024?|date=December 2024}} - To display a reason, use
|reason=a short comment here, e.g.{{Update|reason=Is missing the December 2024 election results|date=December 2024}} - These parameters can be combined:
{{Update|part=The [[#Production|Production]] section and follow-on material|reason=the film is released, so this needs a "Critical reception" section, too|inaccurate=yes|talk=Post-release updating|updated=September 2024|date=December 2024}}
Example
{{Update|documentation|date=December 2024}}
| 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. |
The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly:
| Article |
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Category |
| ||
| Template |
|
{{Update|section|date=December 2024}}
produces:
| Article |
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Category |
| ||
| Template |
|
This template will add mainspace articles to Category:Osolia Wiki articles in need of updating (this category is not populated by pages in other namespaces).
For factual inaccuracies, stronger wording is used and mainspace articles will be added to Category:Articles with obsolete information.
{{Update|inaccurate=yes|date=December 2024}}
| This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (December 2024) |
