Exactly. Its quaint. Tagging specific forecasts as temporal takes what
is a lazy eventualistic, let-someone-else-do-it process and signals
that specific outdated language (and its outdated reference) need
updating. A "switchbot" could then perhaps message the editor who
wrote the section/tag. Context-based signalling.
The "as of" system (when I last looked) did put articles in a category
automatically. Your idea of signalling the original editor is an
interesting one, but editors come and go, and the whole wiki-model
relies on people updating the work of others, so we need to make sure
that process always works.
