Template:Age
From Podpedia
Usage[edit source]
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|year|month|day|year2|month2|day2}}
or{{Age|year|month|day}}
- Examples:
{{Age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}
returns "13"{{Age|1989|7|23}}
returns "34"
- 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 (see Help:Substitution).
- Example:
{{subst:Age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}
- Example:
- When entering dates before the Common Era, use astronomical year numbering: 1 BCE is represented by 0, 2 BCE by -1, 3 BCE by -2 etc. For example, the following expression returns the number of full years elapsed since the battle of Cannae, which took place on August 2, 216 BCE:
{{Age|-215|8|2}}
returns "2238"
- (BCE is exactly the same as BC, so August 2, 216 BCE is also August 2, 216 BC)
- 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)
