Template:Age

This template returns the number of full years between two specified dates. If the second parameter is not included, it will return the number of full years between a specified date and today's date.

Syntax:

{{age|date1|date2}} or

{{age|date1}}

Examples:

{{age|July 7, 1989|July 14, 2003}} returns "14"

{{age|July 7, 1989}} returns "34"

The full range of possible date formats is based on php's strtotime() function and is explained here, but for simplicity it's usually best to just stick to the format above.

{{age|July 7 1989}} returns "34"

{{age|7 July 1989}} returns "34"

{{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.

Example: {{subst:age|July 7, 1989|July 14, 2003}}

Note:

This template does not check for incorrect input:

{{age|1980-7-14|1993-6-233}} returns "" (surplus days do not count as extra months)

{{age|1980-7-14|1993-88-14}} returns "" (surplus months do not count as extra years)
