Template:Update

This template is for use on pages with old or outdated information (for example, after an update) and there has been no rewrite yet based on those changes. Use the template on pages exclusively with outdated information, not on pages with cluttered information or that lack information in general.

Note: If it's an image that needs updating please see the {{Reupload}} documentation.
