{{Update after}} is an alternative for individual statements that will be out-of-date at a specifiable future date. It is a more recent and preferred alternative to TechInfoDepot:As of. It also adds articles to Category:TechInfoDepot articles in need of updating.
See TechInfoDepot:Template messages/Cleanup#Time-sensitive for alternatives unrelated to out-of-date information.
