Template talk:Outdated as of

Outdated pages need better

Is this template actually used?


The concept of outdated wiki pages is useful in principle.


This template focuses on one specialist use case.


Sadly, I suspect this attempt is flawed since I suspect it only really works for popular topics where a diary entry for regular contributors would be more appropriate. Eg reminding them that a particular page may well need updating at a particular date.


There is a real need for something similar and more general for poorly maintained pages that should probably be deleted at some point, providing suitable processes have been observed. Outdated status, a user warning and contributor notifications can provide a valuable way for a gradual transition to deletion.


i believe wikipedia needs to better focus it’s work. A tool along these lines could be a helpful tool in that process.


I would be interested in knowing a better place to discuss this


I haven’t had the patience to wade through a lot of detailed technical wikipedia material to become a much more active volunteer, so I have focussed on using talk to date That saddens me. I see it as one of the problems a large, pioneering, volunteer led, open platform faces.
