Template:Out of date

[edit] Template documentation

Usage

This template was created to deal with articles and sections in which the factual accuracy of the article may be compromised due to old or out of date information.

This template will add articles to Articles with obsolete information.

Formatting

The default words "article or section" are replaceable: {{Out of date|table}} produces:

The factual accuracy of this table may be compromised due to out-of-date information. You can improve the article by updating it. There may be information on the Out of date.

A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place: {{Out of date|article|date=May 2012}} produces:

The factual accuracy of this article may be compromised due to out-of-date information. You can improve the article by updating it. There may be information on the Out of date. (May 2012)

Alternatives

• If there is no dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with Template:Update.

• Template:Update after is for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date.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• Template:As of is for individual statements that may become out-of-date at an unknown future date.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
  • Template:Controversial
  • Template:Disputed
  • Template:Disputed-section
  • Totally-disputed
  • Totally-disputed-section
  • Template:POV
  • Template:POV-section
  • Template:POV-check
