Create a new tag to be embedded in the main article text which reads "as of {current year}" so that the year value increments based on age of a hidden creation timestamp. For example, "As of 2006, the Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York City." An [[AsOfDate]] tag automatically generates the text "as of {curyear}" in the article. When a [[AsOfDate]] tag is imbedded in the article, a timestamp is recorded. Each time the the yearly anniversary of the tag is reached, the article is added to a list so that the entry can be verified as still true. Or, any authors that have edited the article are emailed. Additional formatting could be provide via some standard text flags. To have the tag read, "as of July 26, 2006", the tage could have the format [[AsOfDate:DateYear]].
How would this differ from using the following wikimarkup? As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}
There've been redirect links for this purpose for years, so I don't think it's really necessary. WONTFIX.
