| (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 [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/{{FULLPAGENAMEE}} 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 <nowiki>{{Update after|year|month|day}}</nowiki> 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]]
