{{distinguish|Template:TBA}}<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
Use {{tl|TBD}} as a placeholder for ''forthcoming information'', such as the date of an upcoming event, title of a to-be-released film or album, or other missing data. This template should only be used when the upcoming "whatever" ''has been [[WP:V|sourced]]'' except for this particular as-yet-undetermined detail. It [[WP:NOT#CRYSTAL|must not be used for supposition or prediction]], and not for missing but findable information. Ideally, the very fact that the information is presently undetermined should itself be [[WP:RS|reliably sourced]].<br />
<br />
As with other [[:Category:Inline templates|inline templates]] of this sort, it should '''not''' be [[Wikipedia:Template substitution|substituted]] with "subst:".<br />
<br />
Articles tagged with {{tl|TBD}} will be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles containing placeholders]], which can be used to find articles that are likely in need of updating after a significant amount of time has passed since the dates that this template was added to them.<br />
<br />
===Optional parameters===<br />
Optionally, {{tl|TBD}} can be supplied with a date by which the information that is missing is expected to become available:<br />
<br />
:{{tlx|TBD|year|month|date}}<br />
<br />
After the specified date, the placeholder will be displayed as<br />
<br />
:{{TBD|0}}<br />
<br />
For more details, see {{tl|update after}}.<br />
