This template can be used to mark articles or sections that have old or out-of-date information.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=): {{Update|part=the later-life and death material and the [[#Legacy|Legacy]] section|date=July 2024}}
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: {{Update|section|date=July 2024}}
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=): {{Update|updated=9 June 2024|date=July 2024}}
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: {{Update|date=July 2024}}
To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use |inaccurate=yes: {{Update|inaccurate=yes|date=July 2024}}
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=): {{Update|talk=Shall we update this for 2024?|date=July 2024}}
To display a reason, use |reason=a short comment here, e.g. {{Update|reason=Is missing the July 2024 election results|date=July 2024}}
These parameters can be combined: {{Update|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=April 2024|date=July 2024}}
Example
{{Update|documentation|date=July 2024}}
