قالب:Out of date/doc

This template can be used to mark entire articles or sections that contain outdated information. To assist the editor in the future, include the reason why an article needs updating (using |reason= and what part needs updating using |part=).

 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This template can be used to mark articles or sections that have old or out-of-date information.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specify what parts of the page need updating, use the first unnamed parameter (or name it |part= or number it |1=): {{Out of date|part=the later-life and death material and the [[#Legacy|Legacy]] section|date=مايو 2026}}
• To use the template in one specific section, and change its wording to refer to the section instead of the page, use |section and insert the template at the top of the section: {{Out of date|section|date=مايو 2026}}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of the last significant update to the page, use the second unnamed parameter (or name it |updated= or number it |2=): {{Out of date|updated=22 أبريل 2026|date=مايو 2026}}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• To add the date when the tag was added (this is used for cleanup categorization), use: {{Out of date|date=مايو 2026}}

  You can also do: {{Out of date|{{subst:DATE}}}}

• To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use |inaccurate=yes: {{Out of date|inaccurate=yes|date=مايو 2026}}. This is to be distinguished from disputed content, where {{Disputed}} or {{Disputed-section}} should be used instead.
• 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where the update is being discussed, use |talk=Section title (|talksection= and |discuss= are equivalent to |talk=): {{Out of date|talk=Shall we update this for 2026?|date=مايو 2026}}
• To display a reason, use |reason=a short comment here, e.g. {{Out of date|reason=Is missing the مايو 2026 election results|date=مايو 2026}}
• These parameters can be combined: {{Out of date|part=The [[#Production|Production]] section and follow-on material|reason=the film is released, so this needs a "Critical reception" section,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=فبراير 2026|date=مايو 2026}}

 Example

{{Out of date|documentation|date=مايو 2026}}

The template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly:

Article
Category
Template

{{Out of date|section|date=مايو 2026}} produces: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.

{{Out of date|inaccurate=yes|date=مايو 2026}}
