Redirects
The age templates expect the older date to be first. The implementations of age_in_years and age_in_years_nts display an error message if that is not the case. If similar checking is wanted for other templates, negative=error can be added to the invoke. For example, {{age}} might use:
{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years|negative=error}}
If negative=error does not apply, a negative difference is indicated with a minus sign (−).
Date formats
Dates can use numbered or named parameters to specify year/month/day. Alternatively, a full date can be entered in a variety of formats. For example:
{{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|2001|1|10|2012|2|20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|2001-1-10|2012-2-20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|January 10, 2001|Feb 20, 2012}}→ Template:Age in years and months
If the first or second date is omitted, the current date is used. For example:
{{age in years and months|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months||||2012|2|20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months||2012-2-20}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months||20 Feb 2012}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months||Feb 20, 2012}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|2001|1|10}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|2001-1-10}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|January 10, 2001}}→ Template:Age in years and months
Parameters
The following options are available:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
duration=on |
The finishing date is included in the result; that adds one day to the age. |
fix=on |
Adjust invalid time units. See Template:Extract#Fix. |
format=commas |
A value of 1,000 or more is displayed with commas. |
format=raw |
Numbers are displayed without commas and negative numbers are displayed with a hyphen for {{#expr}}. In addition, {{age}} outputs a plain number and will not include a span to indicate if the result relies on the current date.
|
format=cardinal |
Display the resulting number using words such as "five" instead of 5. See below. |
format=ordinal |
Display the resulting number using words such as "fifth" instead of 5. See below. |
prefix=text |
Insert the given text before the result but after any sort key. For example, {{age|23 July 1910|14 July 1976|prefix=about|sortable=on}} outputs a hidden sort key followed by "about 65".
|
range=dash |
Accept a year only, or a year and month only, and show a range of ages with an en dash (–). |
range=yes |
Accept a year or year/month, and show the range with "or". |
range=no |
Accept a year only, or year/month, but show only a single age as if full dates had been entered. |
round=on |
The age is rounded to the nearest least-significant time unit. |
sc=on |
A serial comma is used (only useful when three or more values are displayed). |
sc=yes |
Same as sc=on.
|
show=hide |
The age is not displayed; may be useful with sortable=on.
|
sortable=on |
Insert a hidden sort key before the result (for use in sortable tables). |
sortable=table |
. |
sortable=debug |
Same as sortable=on but the sort key is displayed for testing.
|
sortable=off |
No sort key (can override the default for a template like {{age nts}}). |
Examples using the range parameter follow.
{{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|year2=2012|month2=2|range=yes}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|2001|1||2012|2|range=yes}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=yes}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=dash}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=no}}→ Template:Age in years and months Template:Green{{age in years and months|12 Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=no}}→ Template:Age in years and months Template:Green{{age in years and months|2001|2012|range=no}}→ Template:Age in years and months Template:Green{{age in years and months|2001|23 Feb 2012|range=no}}→ Template:Age in years and months Template:Green
The sort key is based on the age in days, and fractions of a day if a time is specified.
{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug|show=hide}}→ Template:Age in years and months
An extra day is added for a duration.
{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012}}→ Template:Age in years and months Template:Green{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012|duration=on}}→ Template:Age in years and months
The least-significant time unit can be rounded.
{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012|round=on}}→ Template:Age in years and months Template:Green
Large numbers can be formatted with commas.
{{age in years and months|120|2012|format=commas|range=yes}}→ Template:Age in years and months{{age in years and months|120|2012|format=commas|range=dash}}→ Template:Age in years and months
Spelling numbers
The templates that use age_generic can display numbers in words rather than using numerals. The result can be a cardinal number (such as "five") or an ordinal number (such as "fifth"). The first letter can be in uppercase, and US spelling of numbers can be used. Examples:
{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=cardinal}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=cardinal_us}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Cardinal}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Cardinal_us}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Ordinal}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Ordinal_us}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=ordinal}}→ 120{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=ordinal_us}}→ 120{{age|1980|1990|range=yes|format=Cardinal}}→ Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "{".{{age in years, months and days|April 1980|1995|format=Cardinal|range=yes}}→ Template:Age in years, months and days
