This page is a template, editing it will affect all the pages that make use of it, so users should be especially careful when editing it. For more details on how to use templates see "A Quick Guide to Templates"

An "out of date" flag used to indicate outdated content.

Usage

This template should be added at the beginning of articles or sections containing outdated information. Ensure to cite specific concerns with the first argument and possibly also on the flagged article's discussion page.

{{Out of date|This section talks about thing X, but we switched to Y.}}

You can override the default discussion page with a second optional argument:

{{Out of date|This section talks about thing X, but we switched to Y.|Talk:Alternative Page}}

Alternatively you can point to a specific section in the default talk page with the named section parameter:

{{Out of date|This section talks about thing X, but we switched to Y.|section=Section name}}

Flagged pages can be found in Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Out of date or in Category:Pages or sections flagged with Template:Out of date. If knowledgeable in a subject, users are encouraged to participate to update the article. The {{Out of date}} flag should be removed after correction of dated information.

Note

The talk page is linked through an external link: this is to avoid polluting Special:WantedPages when the talk page does not exist.
