(THIS TEMPLATE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT)
This template is used for marking places in Wikipedia entries which need to be updated later. For a list of all articles using this template, see [What links here]. Lists by year, month, and day can be found by checking Wikipedia:Updating information. Articles in need of updating are added to categories the next time they're edited when the update is indicated to be needed.
Use of this template should not be an excuse for your laziness! Please read Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly, and use this template only when there is no reasonable way around it.
To use, simply put {{Update after|year|month|day}} after the item which should be updated, much as you would a footnote. The template should follow any footnote marks or similar stuff and should be adjacent to white space. Year should be replaced by the 4-digit year in which the item should be updated and must be included. A month number (1-12) and day number are optional parameters, so the date can be just a year, or a year and a month, or a specific day.
This template is intended as a replacement for the As of technique, which violates Wikipedia convention by linking text to administrative material, amd has other problems.
Discussion is at Wikipedia talk:As of#Template:Update after
