As Of

The as of technique is a way to deal with . Some articles have information that is valid only for a specific moment in history. If you suspect that the article will become significantly out of date in years to come, and want to ensure that people will update it, please include a link '''.

''Each'' non-contiguous statement in an article that may date quickly should be so linked, even if there are several such statements that link to the same year. Otherwise, it is possible that when one statement is updated, the need to update other statements in the article may be lost.

A separate list using a different mechanism is at .

THE "AS OF" PAGE FORMAT

Each "as of" page redirects to the year in question, and includes a message describing its purpose. The redirects are marked with so as to allow locating the articles easily by clicking . Code the "as of nnnn" page like this:



#REDIRECT  Nnnn

Please add new "as of" pages to the list below.

DEPRECATED "AS OF" PAGES

As Of (month) (year) form is deprecated and should be avoided, as described above. Adjust articles to the standard form, where found. To link a statement which may be specific to a month or date, code as:
