Without references to have occurred or not of changes, in my head this is how it makes sense to handle updates:


 * The Update page in itself gets confirmed additions as we discover them
 * New pages gets the Category:Upcoming template
 * Affected pages are left untouched, and possibly undone of related changes, until the update is officially released

It seems like we agree on the first two, and have differing opinions on the last one. Related to the second one, I think that is working because it is rather easy to spot this is an upcoming feature on the page, and for editors it is easy to track which pages are marked with this category.

However, when it comes to the third, whilst making addition of the "will be released in" or "After Update 2.0" does clarify it some to the reader, it makes it harder for the editor to catch which pages needs to be changed after the official release. You could to some extent follow links from the Update page and see if anything has changed on the linked pages. But what makes it even worse, is say if a flying Mob was added, and someone started to change all the pages listing the flying Mob with the new addition.

In due time, the Wiki would hopefully catch it and correct it, but I think it would be easier to not add features on affected/related pages (that not new) pages until after the official release. This would allow editors to make the edition once, when the feature has been officially released and we have all related information to it.

For example for the Bed, most likely the recipe for how to make it will change, and possibly the default color will change. (Note: This has not been added so far, so far there is only a mention of colored beds). Another slightly related example is the Iron Nugget, were there has been some changes related to the crafting recipe, which is more or less guesswork, as we haven't seen how to do it (unless you count the MCPC version).
