Template:Age

Template documentation

{{Age}} 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.

Usage

Dates are checked for validity. For example, 29 February 2000 is accepted, but 29 February 1900 is not a valid date.

Syntax

{{age|year|month|day|year2|month2|day2}} or

{{age|year|month|day}} or

{{age|date|date2}} or

{{age|date}}

Partial dates such as July 1989 (no day) or 1989 (no month and no day) can be entered using 0 for missing values. Having no year, or having a day with no month is an error.

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

{{age|1989|7|23}} → 35
