===Do not. . .===
Please read [[Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly]]; use {{Tl|Update after}} only in exceptional cases. Do not use this template on pages which simply need to be reviewed later to see if they ''might'' need updating; it should only be used when there is a ''certainty or very high probability'' that an update is needed. Do not use this template on [[Wikipedia:Help:Talk page|talk page]]s; it is intended for inline usage, like {{Tl|Citation needed}}. It is probably not necessary to use this template on frequently edited articles such as for current events, as they will be being updated on a regular basis. Do not use this template within a section heading as it will count as part of the heading and thus break the heading.

When the template is activated in an article, the phrase "needs update" appears in the text of the article at the indicated spot. The page will also appear in [[:Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating]] or one of its dated subcategories, when the date is specified, and also any category specified in the 4th parameter.
 
See [[:Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating]] for a list of pages currently needing updates, and [[Wikipedia:As of]] for a list of 'As of' pages.
 
== Related templates ==
* {{Tlg|Update inline}} or {{Tlg|Update inline span}} can be used if the text is already outdated, instead of adding this template with a date in the past.
* {{Tlg|Update}} can be used to mark an entire article or section needing to be updated. Like {{Tl|Update after}}, this template adds the article to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles in need of updating]].
* {{Tlg|Update|inaccurate{{=}}yes}} is used to mark an article whose factual accuracy may be compromised (although this may be disputed) due to out of date information. This template adds the article to [[:Category:Articles with obsolete information]].
* {{Tlg|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]].
* {{Tls|Show by}}/{{Tlg|Show by date}}
* {{Tlg|Age switch}} can be used to build date-related templates.
