The '''Note: This template {{[[Template:As of|As of]]}} is MUST NOT be used to link a section of text to an appropriate "As of..." page without creating in infoboxes which emit a visible link on the page itself. This allows editors to catalogue statements that may become dated over time. It also includes the [[ISO 8601]] format needed by [[hAtom]] (<code>class="updated"</code>) and [[HCalendar|hCalendar]] (<code>class="dtstart"</code>) [[microformat]]s through use of the {{[[Template:Start date|Start date]]}} template. Unlike the {{[[Template:Update after|Update after]]}} template, <nowiki>{{As of}}</nowiki> does not require the editor to give a full as its emitted datemarkup will conflict with that. This template should ''' This template does not''' be subst'dgenerate a visible hyperlink in text where it is used.
