This is a documentation subpage for . 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 sub-category of Category:Articles containing potentially dated statements. This enables editors to catalog 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). {{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}}{{As of|month-name day, year}}{{As of|month-name year}}
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)
Named
- alt – optional; allows substitution of different wording and case for the visible text output; if present but no value defined, this parameter is ignored; if a value is defined, values for df and lc parameters are ignored
- df – optional; allows use of American date format with df=US
- lc – optional; gives lower case "as of date" when defined; recommended syntax is lc=y
- url – optional; adds an inline external link (hidden by default) suggesting a webpage for future editors to check for updates to the statement; use the full URL with no spaces. See Wikipedia:As of for displaying links.
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]
- {{As of|2010|4|1|alt=as of the [[2010 United States Census]]}} – as of the 2010 United States Census[update]
- {{As of|2010|7|5|df=US}} – As of July 5, 2010[update]
- {{As of|2010|7|5|lc=y}} – as of 5 July 2010[update]
