Template:As of

{{documentation|content=

See w:Template:As of.

Usage
The template as of is used to mark potentially dated statements, and will add an article to Category:Articles containing potentially dated statements. This allows editors to catalogue statements that may become dated over time. The date used for a given statement should be the current date (for currently valid statements) or the date on which the cited reference was produced (for example, when using census data). This template should not be substituted.

This template does not generate a visible hyperlink in text where it is used.
