 | This template needs to be updated.
Please help update this template to reflect recent events or newly available information. This template needs to be updated.Remove this message once you've verified that the page is accurate and made any needed changes. |
Template documentation | This template is used on approximately 32,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
 | This template uses Lua: |
ProdWiki Info
This template was imported from Wikipedia. We added to it so you can show that an article needs verification, setting source = database or source = AI. Use the following syntax for example: {{Update|source=database}}.
Usage
This template can be used to mark articles or sections that have old or out-of-date information.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=April 2026}} - 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=April 2026}} - 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=27 March 2026|date=April 2026}}- 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=April 2026}}- 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- To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use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=April 2026}} - 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 2026?|date=April 2026}} - To display a reason, use
|reason=a short comment here, e.g.{{Update|reason=Is missing the April 2026 election results|date=April 2026}} - 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=January 2026|date=April 2026}}
Example
{{Update|documentation|date=April 2026}}
| 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. This template needs to be updated.Remove this message once you've verified that the page is accurate and made any needed changes. |
The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly:
| Article |
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Category |
| ||
| Template |
|
{{Update|section|date=April 2026}}
produces:
| Article |
| ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Category |
| ||
| Template |
|
This template will add mainspace articles to Category:Wikipedia 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=April 2026}}
| This article's factual accuracy may be compromised due to out-of-date information. (April 2026) |

Alternatives
- {{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 Wikipedia:As of. It also adds articles to Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating.
- See Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.
