Usage
[hindura inkomoko]This template can be used to mark articles or sections that have old or out-of-date information.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=Ugushyingo 2024}} - 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=Ugushyingo 2024}} - 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=3 Ukwakira 2024|date=Ugushyingo 2024}}- 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=Ugushyingo 2024}}- 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- To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use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=Ugushyingo 2024}} - 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 2024?|date=Ugushyingo 2024}} - To display a reason, use
|reason=a short comment here, e.g.{{Update|reason=Is missing the Ugushyingo 2024 election results|date=Ugushyingo 2024}} - 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=Kanama 2024|date=Ugushyingo 2024}}
