Editors are encouraged to regularly browse the list of outdated articles, and update the information therein. {{Outdated|category=no|date=Stardate 42761|reason=Resistance is futile.|scope=template}} === Usage === It is simply sufficient to include this template with no other information in..."

New page

This template can be used to mark articles or sections containing information that is no longer applicable, relevant, or otherwise no longer correct. Editors are encouraged to regularly browse the [[:Category:Outdated articles|list of outdated articles]], and update the information therein.

{{Outdated|category=no|date=Stardate 42761|reason=Resistance is futile.|scope=template}}

=== Usage ===

It is simply sufficient to include this template with no other information inside an outdated section or article. The following example will produce a very simple notice:

<pre>
{{Outdated}}
</pre>

{{Outdated|category=no}}

However, you are encouraged to, at the very least, provide the current month and date in order to keep track of ''how'' outdated a piece of information is; the month and year should suffice:

<pre>
{{Outdated|date=July 2029}}
</pre>

{{Outdated|category=no|date=July 2029}}

You are also encouraged to provide a reason for why a piece of information is outdated. For example, this section would be outdated because the syntax is not supported in the new version of MediaWiki:

<pre>
{{Outdated|reason=The syntax is no longer supported in new versions of MediaWiki.}}
</pre>

{{Outdated|category=no|reason=The syntax is no longer supported in new versions of MediaWiki.}}

Finally, it might be that only a specific section, or a specific element of an article, is outdated. You can specify the scope of the outdated information:

<pre>
{{Outdated|scope=block of code}}
</pre>

{{Outdated|category=no|scope=block of code}}

==== Discussion link ====

You can modify the notice's discussion link. For example, if you create a relevant section called ''No longer the case'' on a page's Talk page, you can link it so:

<pre>
{{Outdated|category=no|link=Talk:Example/No longer the case}}
</pre>

{{Outdated|category=no|link=Talk:Example/No longer the case}}
