Template talk:Out of date

New image
This template used to use Image:Emblem-important.svg. A user recently replaced it with Image:Out of date clock pn.png which was quickly tagged to be converted to SVG. I made a similar one, Image:Out of date clock icon.svg, and also made this version Image:Out of date clock icon.svg. Which one do you think we should use? I labelled them A, B, C, and D. Perhaps a different version? What do you think? -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 02:13, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I liked B because it had a subtle, softer look and goes with the icons we generally use here. C, and especially D are really dramatic and hard coded. I really don't have much of a preference but I prefer B. I could easily convert B into SVG graphics if that's a problem, but if C is preferred, I'd suggest toning down some of the colors and make it less bold.-- penubag  (talk) 04:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the only reason I changed it was because it wasn't an SVG. If you could make an SVG version that would be great! I used the red clock because it already was an SVG, and the blue clock hasn't been made into an SVG yet by anybody. The ones I made do look pretty intense. -- Tkgd2007 (talk) 18:27, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've converted the blue clock into svg first since that image is the base for our other clock images, the only problem is that it looks like crap at 50px, observe now fixed. -- penubag  (talk) 04:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I replaced the clock with a new version of the vector you made. I hope you like it! -- penubag  (talk) 03:39, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the text be "The factual accuracy of this article or section may be compromised due to out-of-date information." i.e. put the dashes between out-of-date? Spebudmak 22:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it's probably hopeless to get people to observe that rule, but for what it's worth, I agree with you :-). See also http://www.salisbury.gov.uk/style-guide.pdf and http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn?view=rev&revision=27366. --Karl Fogel 07:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

In line version
Hi, Is there an inline version of this that can just apply to a sentence of paragraph. If someone uses a book published in 1891, and makes an out of date statement no longer supported by modern scholarship, I would like to be able to mark that sentence and reference as out of date. The "As of" template does not really look like a flag. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 13:41, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Try update after. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:54, 2 May 2012 (UTC)


 * That was what I was looking for Thanks. History2007 (talk) 14:40, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Nonexistent category
Adding this to an article with a date includes it in a category, or is supposed to. The category Category:Out-of-date template from May 2013 does not exist. The same with earlier months. Something is wrong. -- Auric    talk  12:02, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
