Template:Age/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Age.
It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template returns the number of full years between two specified dates. If the second set of parameters is not included, it will return the number of full years between a specified date and today's date.

Syntax:: {{age|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}} or; {{age|year1|month1|day1}}

Examples:: {{age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}} returns "13"; {{age|1989|7|23}} returns "Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "२"."

When using this template to calculate a person's age at death or a person's age on a specified date (rather than the person's current age), please substitute it into the page.

Example: {{subst:age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}

Note:

This template does not check for incorrect input:

{{age|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}} returns "12" (surplus days do not count as extra months)

{{age|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}} returns "13" (surplus months do not count as extra years)

{{age in years and days}} — Age in years and days
{{age in days}} — Age in days
{{birth date and age}} — Displays birth date and age
{{birth date and age2}} — Displays birth date and age as of a specified date
{{Age nts}} — Like this template, but will sort correctly in sortable tables.
