Template:Cat ASOF

Template:Wikipedia category

This category is not shown on its member pages.

Articles in category contain statements that may become dated originating from {{{1}}}. The statements may need to be updated, removed or edited for perspective. Articles containing older statements are more likely to be dated. This is not a backlog; not all articles in this category will need updating at this point in time.

Use {{As of}} to mark all individual statements that may become dated, this will automatically add them to the appropriate categories. Wherever possible, use {{Update after}} to mark exactly when statements will need updating in addition to using {{As of}}.

Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Cat ASOF/doc. (edit | history)

Usage

This template is for creating subcategories of Category:Articles containing potentially dated statements quickly. The subcategories should follow the standard naming convention; "Articles containing potentially dated statements from <Month> <Year>" with the full name for <Month> if used. When creating a new category use one of:

{{Cat ASOF|year|month}}

{{Cat ASOF|year}}

where year is the full 4-digit year and month is either the month name or number. For compactness and efficiency use of the month number is preferred. Do not use <Month> for years before 2005. The earliest separately categorised year should be 1990.
