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)
Named
- alt – optional; allows substitution of different wording and case for the visible text output (including the date); if present but no value defined, this parameter is ignored; if a value is defined, values for
|df
and|lc
and|since
parameters are ignored. - df – optional; allows use of American date format with
|df=US
. - lc – optional; if given any value at all (e.g.
|lc=y
) gives lower case "as of date", for use in mid-sentence. - since – optional; if given any value at all (e.g.
|since=y
) it changes "As of" to "Since". Use of|lc=y
with|since=y
gives "since date. Use of|alt=
will replace the entire output, including the "Since", as it will with the default "As of". - 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.
