Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Usage
Place the code {{Update table|date=June 2026}} on its own line at the top of a section that contains a data table—either solely (only a table) or primarily (table being the main context, followed by some ancillary text)—, between the section heading (== Section ==) and the table.
Valid parameters are:
|date=|cat=|reason=|inaccurate=
Their meanings are exactly the same as for {{update|section}} when used with the same parameters.
