=== Dating Current Events ===
When discussing the current situation regarding an engine, project, or similar, you should mention the date at which you're writing the comment, e.g. "as of January 2014, locomotive 12345 was being overhauled...". Preferably, you should use the format <nowiki>{{As of|2016|08}}</nowiki> which will be displayed as "{{As of|2016|0811}}" and will automatically create a link to [http://www.svrwiki.com/Category:All_articles_containing_potentially_dated_statements the list of all articles containing potentially dated statements], which makes it easier for editors to keep the wiki up to date. If you use phrases such as "currently" or "at the moment", it can be hard for a reader to work out whether the information is still correct. A date may also encourage someone to add more up-to-date information at a later point in time, as they will be made aware that the page hasn't been updated for a while.
