Further to the suggestion of using dates to show when things were updated, I see that Wikipedia mentions an 'as of' template, which apparently means you can then report all such dates to see if they need updating. Not being a template expert, can it be implemented here, and is it worth doing or is it overkill? --Robin (talk) 22:26, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I liked the sound of this, especially as there are so many restoration projects which could potentially need regular updating, however as far as I can tell, it's unique to Wikipedia. I can't find any mention of it as an extension for Mediawiki. It may be possible to adapt it, but if so, it's beyond me. --Graham Phillips 110 (talk) 19:31, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Beyond me also - it should be possible to import the relevant template(s) but I can't begin to work out how. A slightly less elegant work around would be to use Category tags, eg when referring to something being current as of June 2015 then add at the bottom of the page 'Category:As of 2015-06' and so on. That would achieve the same result, and (I think!) if you add the magic HIDDENCAT word to the category page then it wouldn't display on the source page when browsing. Worth trying that way, or does anyone else want to try importing the templates first? --Robin (talk) 17:44, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
- I've given importing it a go, and I'm going to test. As of 18 June 2015[update] --WillSalt (talk) 20:19, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
