Template:As of/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:As of. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
The template {{as of}} is used to mark potentially dated statements, and will add an article to the appropriate hidden sub-category of Category:Articles containing potentially dated statements. This allows editors to catalogue statements that may become dated over time. The date used for a given statement should be the current date (for currently valid statements) or the date on which the cited reference was produced (for example, when using census data). Unlike the {{update after}} template, {{as of}} does not require the editor to give a full date. This template should not be substituted.
Note: This template MUST NOT be used in infoboxes which emit a microformat, as its emitted date markup will conflict with that.
This template does not generate a visible hyperlink in text where it is used.
Syntax
The template can be used in the following forms:
{{As of|year}}{{As of|year|month}}{{As of|year|month|day}}
Please do not use {{As of|{{CURRENTYEAR}}|{{CURRENTMONTH}}}} or similar; that defeats the point of the template.
Several additional named parameters can also be used (see below).
Parameters
Required
- year (first parameter) – must be in full numerical format (yyyy)
Optional
- month (second parameter) – full, abbreviated or numerical formats supported (mm recommended)
- day (third parameter) – numerical format only, not included in link (dd)
Examples
- {{As of|2010}} – As of 2010[update]}}
- {{As of|2010|7}} – As of July 2010[update]}}
- {{As of|2010|7|5}} – As of 5 July 2010[update]}}
