[view] [edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Age in years and days/doc. (edit | history)

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

Syntax:
{{age in years and days|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}} or
{{age in years and days|year1|month1|day1}}
Examples:
{{age in years and days|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}} returns "13 years, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression""
{{age in years and days|1989|7|23}} returns "19 years, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression""
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 in years and days|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}
Note:
This template does not check for incorrect input:
{{age in years and days|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}} returns "12 years, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression"" (surplus days do not count as extra months)
{{age in years and days|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}} returns "13 years, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression"" (surplus months do not count as extra years)

Note also that due to leap years the measure "years and days" fails to be fully additive:

{{age in years and days|2007|2|27|2008|3|2}} returns "1 year, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression""

but split up:

{{age in years and days|2007|2|27|2007|3|2}} returns "0 years, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression""
{{age in years and days|2007|3|2|2008|3|2}} returns "1 year, Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "[" Expression error: Unrecognised word "expression""
