Add a "subsection" param, similar to "section" param. Qwerty284651 (talk) 14:54, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
Not done please sync, then make your edit in the sandbox and verify it is working; when ready reactivate the edit request above. — xaosflux Talk 15:28, 14 February 2023 (UTC)- @Qwerty284651: Just use
{{Update|section|date=February 2023}}- I consider that the distinction between sections (level 2 headings) and subsections (levels 3 through 6) is not great enough to warrant extra code. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:16, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

"those related to section"
editIf you visit Template:Update/testcases and search for "those related to section", you'll see some templates that are using bad grammar. I suggest changing that to "those related to this section", or removing that entirely. Would do it myself but is a bit complicated because the same code is also used to generate "those related to documentation", which is correct grammar and doesn't necessarily need to be modified. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 07:45, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

In the "Usage" section there's a typo in the template. It says "Updated is used to mark entire articles or entire section...". ("Updated" is the typo, should be "Update"). Betsy Rogers (talk) 08:58, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Done, but you can edit the documentation on your own. It's unprotected and located at Template:Update/doc. That's usually the case for the template documentation subpage. You can use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. SilverLocust 💬 09:45, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
Change?
editI have an idea, to show Wikipedia-ism, maybe we can replace the word 'update' with 'Wikidate'? Just an idea. Hellow Hellow i am here 14:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
