honestly I'm a bit dubious about its utility
The problem is, you don't know whether it actually happened or not. There's going to be problems if it was supposed to happen, and then got cancelled. Either you have to use it with a built-in fact template or you only use it for things that nothing can even conceivably stop (things that need *no* human input), like orbital mechanics, rotation of the Earth or centenaries etc.
I suppose you could add a category to the template to help find things that have passed so as to permit people to remove the template and check that it actually happened; that would at least be an improvement.
