How to highlight outdated information

While editing Critical Path Institute I stumbled upon a |leader_title that was not updated since years. I think it would make sense to add a parameter such as |leader_asof where the date of last update could be indicated. This way, readers would be informed if the information could be obsolete. This could be done for all information that are subject to change. What do you think? Broc (talk) 08:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hooman Mallahzadeh Can you please give a measure of how common it is for organizations to have this?Naraht (talk) 14:58, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Naraht No, I can't prove how common it is. But I'm somehow sure that it is very important to note that in Infoboxes. Read Sound trademark please. Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 15:03, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How does it link to a Wikidata entity?

What properties does it use to link with the correct Wikidata entity?
What are the practical difference between Template:Infobox organization and Template:Infobox organization/Wikidata?
It seems also the non-Wikidata variant can fetch entries from Wikidata, or at least the official URL.

Unknown parameters "leader_title5" and "leader_name5"

Hello, all.

I was trying to set up this infobox on International Animated Film Association and I got a message that these two parameters are unknown. I copied the template from the documentation page, which does show these as valid parameters in the table - were these removed at some point and we need to update the documentation? Or is there an error in the template? ~ Matthewrb ^{Let's connect · Here to help} 16:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those unsupported parameters were added to the documentation incorrectly in 2023 by Hossam Azab. Editors sometimes do this when they do not understand how templates implement parameters. I have removed them from the documentation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:40, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, thank you for looking into that! ~ Matthewrb ^{Let's connect · Here to help} 04:00, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
