Template:Update

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template displays a notice that the page or section it appears on needs to be updated to account for newly available information.

Usage

This template should be placed at the top of a page or section that contains outdated information.

Always specify the reason an update is needed using |reason=, unless that reason is very obvious. This helps other editors know at a glance what needs to be changed.

{{Update|reason=Curses are now classified as Hexes and Marks since [[version 3.12.0]]}}

To specify that certain parts of a page need to be updated, use the first unnamed parameter or |part=.

{{Update|part=general description, mechanics and interactions}}

To indicate that a section needs to be updated, place this template at the top of the section and use "section" for the value of the first unnamed parameter or |part=.

{{Update|section}}

The notice produced by this template will show a link to the talk page if it exists. To have it link to a specific section of the talk page where the update is being discussed, use |talk=Section title.

{{Update|talk=Changes in version 3.12.0}}

This template detects which namespace it is used in and changes accordingly. Using this template on a mainspace article will automatically add it to Category:Articles needing updates.
