Template:Age/doc

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

Usage

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 "35"

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)
