This is a documentation subpage for Template:Out of date (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

This template was created to deal with articles and sections in which the factual accuracy of the article may be compromised due to old or out of date information.

This template will add articles to Category:Articles with obsolete information.

Formatting

The default words "article or section" are replaceable: {{Out of date|table}} produces:

Error creating thumbnail: convert-im6.q16: non-conforming drawing primitive definition `circle' @ error/draw.c/DrawImage/3265.
The factual accuracy of this table may be compromised due to out-of-date information.
You can improve the article by updating it. There may be information on the talk page.

A date parameter can also be used to inform other editors of the time the tag has been in place: {{Out of date|article|date=May 2024}} produces:

Error creating thumbnail: convert-im6.q16: non-conforming drawing primitive definition `circle' @ error/draw.c/DrawImage/3265.
The factual accuracy of this article may be compromised due to out-of-date information.
You can improve the article by updating it. There may be information on the talk page. (May 2024)

Alternatives

  • If there is no dispute about the need for an update, an out-of-date article or section can be marked with Template:Update.
  • Template:Update after is for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date. It now links to the same category that Template:Update does, once the specified date has passed.
  • Template:As of is for individual statements that may become out-of-date at an unknown future date. It categorises statements by the date from which the statement originated.
