If we must have Yet Another Template(TM), I'd be more inclined to make 
it an explicit "[as of when?]".  In the cases where you already know, or 
can easily determine, whether the information still is or when it last 
was current, it's probably more useful and no more difficult to add the 
"as of XXXX" part yourself than to stick a template on it.
