== Usage == This template can be used to mark articles or sections that have old or out-of-date information.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 {{para|part}} or number it {{para|1}}): {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|part{{=}}the later-life and death material and the <nowiki>[[#Legacy|Legacy]]</nowiki> section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} * To use the template in one specific section, and change its wording to refer to the section instead of the page, use {{para||section}} and insert the template at the top of the section: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} * To display the date (in whatever format) of the last significant update to the page, use the second unnamed parameter (or name it {{para|updated}} or number it {{para|2}}): {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|updated{{=}}{{#time:j F Y|-1 month}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} *: 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: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} *: You can also do: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{tls|DATE}}}} * To explain that the article now has inaccuracies (not just missing information) due to being outdated, use {{para|inaccurate|yes}}: {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|inaccurate{{=}}yes|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} * To link to a particular section of the talk page where the update is being discussed, use {{para|talk|{{var|Section title}}}} ({{para|talksection}} and {{para|discuss}} are equivalent to {{para|talk}}): {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|talk{{=}}Shall we update this for {{CURRENTYEAR}}?|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} * To display a reason (after the added phrase "In particular{{colon}}"), use {{para|reason|{{var|a short comment here}}}}, e.g. {{tlc|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|reason{{=}}Is missing the {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} election results|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} * These parameters can be combined: {{tnull|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|part{{=}}The <nowiki>[[#Production|Production]]</nowiki> 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{{=}}{{#time:F Y|-3 month}}|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}
