Usage[ᱯᱷᱮᱰᱟᱛ ᱥᱟᱯᱲᱟᱣ]
This template returns the number of full years between two specified dates. If the second set of parameters is not included, it returns the number of full years between a specified date and today's date.
Dates are checked for validity. For example, 29 February 2000 is accepted, but 29 February 1900 is not a valid date.
Partial dates such as July 1989 (no day) or 1989 (no month and no day) can be entered using0
for missing values. Having no year, or having a day with no month is an error.
Please remember to avoid phrasings such as "17 years ago" or "Jones is 65 years old", even when they use this template. SeeMOS:RELTIMEfor more information.
- Syntax
{{age|year|month|day|year2|month2|day2}}
or{{age|year|month|day}}
or{{age|date|date2}}
or{{age|date}}
- Examples
{{age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}
→ 13{{age|1989|7|0|2003|7|14}}
→ 14{{age|1989|0|0|2003|7|14}}

→ 14
- When entering dates before theCommon Era,use astronomical year numbering: 1 BCE is represented by
0
,2 BCE by-1
,3 BCE by-2
etc. For example, the following gives the number of full years since the battle of Cannae, which took place on August 2, 216 BCE:{{age|-215|8|2}}
→2238{{age|August 2, 216 BCE}}
→2238
The options described atModule:Agecan be used, for example:
{{age|format=commas|-215|8|2}}
→2,238{{age|format=cardinal|1970|1|1|1998|2|1}}
→ twenty-eight{{age|format=ordinal|1970|1|1|1998|2|1}}
→ twenty-eighth
When only one date is entered, the current date is used for the other date. The template outputs a span that can be used by a calling infobox to detect if only one date was used. The following shows two examples with the exact wikitext that is produced, as seen atSpecial:ExpandTemplates:
{{age|2010}}
→<span class= "currentage" ></span>14
{{age|format=raw|2010}}
→14
