Template:Update

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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This template can be used to mark articles or sections with old or out-of-date information.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

This template will add mainspace articles to Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating (this category is not populated by pages in other namespaces).

The template {{update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date.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 {{As of}}. It also adds articles to Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating.

Examples

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