The template update after is useful for things that need to be updated after a certain date. To use it, put. Once the date specified in the parameters has been reached, will show up. The template will place the page in the categoryCategory:Wikipedia articles in need of updating. You don't need to fill in all of the date parameters. For example, you can just fill in the year parameter, or just the year and month parameter.

Another helpful template is show by date. Its parameters are. For example, if a celebrity is getting married on 25 November 2010, then you could put the following in his personal life section:.

If you want to get the time since a certain date or figure out something like how long 6 weeks is from today, you can probably usemagic words in conjunction with the templatedate. I could probably puzzle that out, but I'm a bit tired right now.

I hope this helps!
