Template:Age/doc

This template is used to display the difference between two dates in years. It is mainly used to display an automatically updated number of years that have passed since a certain date, for instance, in the age parameter of {{user infobox}} template calls.

Usage

{{ age | <year (older date)> | <month (older date)> | <day (older date)> | <year (newer date)> (optional) | <month (newer date)> (optional) | <day (newer date)> (optional) }}

First, second, and third unnamed parameters

The older of the two dates to compare. For the age of a user, for instance, this would be the user's birthday.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth unnamed parameters

The newer of the two dates to compare. This defaults to the current date (2024|04|23).

Notes

• All number may omit leading zeros.
• If the "older date" is actually the newer one, the template will display a negative number.
