[Demo] Current Update: How to Write a Dated Kiarapedia Update

Demo article. Current Updates are designed for information that changes over time: events, deadlines, announcements, closures, schedules, public notices and other dated developments.

Start with the date

The article should make the publication or update date easy to see. If the subject has an event date or deadline, include that separately. A reader should be able to tell whether the information applies today, to a future date or to a past event.

What changed?

Describe the change in a few direct sentences. Identify the organization, authority or organizer responsible for the announcement when applicable. Do not state an unverified social-media claim as an official decision.

Status and next steps

Explain whether the information is announced, confirmed, postponed, cancelled, completed or awaiting confirmation. If readers need to apply, attend, register or take another action, provide the official instructions.

Updating an old entry

When a later announcement supersedes the original information, update the article and preserve the relevant dates. Do not silently leave an old deadline in a page that appears current.

Source discipline

Use first-party notices where possible. For breaking or disputed information, identify the source and avoid presenting an uncertain claim as settled fact.
