==Usage== |
|||
The template {{tl|as of}} is used to mark potentially dated statements, and will add an article to the appropriate [[WP:HIDDENCAT|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 date of the most recent [[WP:RS|reliable source]] (for currently valid statements), or the date on which the cited reference was produced (for example, when using census data). It should not be used for future dates (use {{tl|update after}} instead). This template should '''not''' be [[Wikipedia:Substitution|substituted]]. |
|||
'''Notes:''' |

*'''This template MUST NOT be used in infoboxes that emit a microformat, as its emitted date markup will conflict with that. ''' |
|||
*'''This template is not necessary within quotations, and use of the template in such cases should be avoided.''' |

Using this template with values such as {{tlx|As of|now}} or variables such as {{tlx|As of|<nowiki>{{CURRENTYEAR}}</nowiki>}} is equivalent to using "currently", which is generally against the [[Wikipedia:As of#Precise language|precise language]] guideline. |

Revision as of 15:11, 10 May 2019
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 four-digit format (yyyy)
Optional
- month (second parameter) – full, abbreviated or two-digit numerical formats supported (mm recommended,
01
indicating January,02
February, etc., but also acceptingJan
andJanuary
) - day (third parameter) – numerical two-digit 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 with no value defined, this parameter is ignored; if a value is defined, values for
|df
and|lc
and|since
parameters are ignored. - df – "date format", optional; allows use of American date format with
|df=US
. - lc – "lower case", optional; if given any value at all (e.g.
|lc=y
) gives lower case "as of date", for use 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". - pre – text to insert before the date, and after "[A|a]s of" or "[S|s]ince", e.g.
|pre=the first week of
used like this:{{asof|1997|pre=the first week of}}
produces "As of the first week of 1997[update]". - post – text (almost always punctuation) to insert between the date and the superscripted note that is displayed if
- the given date has arrived; or
- the user's common.css page uses any of
.asof-tag
,.asof-tag.ref
, or.asof-tag.update
to force display of the note .
- For example,
{{As of|2024|06|2|post=,}}
no more bears were found
- gives
- "As of 2 06 2024,[update] no more bears were found"
- (comma before the superscripted note)
- while
{{As of|2024|06|2}}
, no more bears were found
- produces the undesirable result (contrary to WP:REFPUNC) with regard to the location of the comma:
- "As of 2 06 2024[update], no more bears were found"
- 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|2024}}
– As of 2024[update]{{As of|2024|06}}
– As of June 2024[update]{{As of|2024|06|2}}
– As of 2 June 2024[update]{{As of|2024|06|2|df=US}}
– As of June 2, 2024[update]{{As of|2024|06|2|lc=y}}
– as of 2 June 2024[update]{{As of|2010|4|1|alt=as of the [[2010 United States Census]]}}
– as of the 2010 United States Census[update]{{As of|2024|06|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/}}
returns:- for logged in users, with links displayed (see Wikipedia:As of) – As of June 2024[ref]
- for all other users – As of June 2024
{{As of|2024|06|2|df=US|since=y}}
– Since June 2, 2024[update]{{As of|2024|06|2|lc=y|since=y}}
– since 2 June 2024[update]
