User:Rich Farmbrough/Template:Birth event age/doc

• This template is to format birth, death/event and ages.

• If the either date isn't given the current date is used.

• An optional format string determines which are displayed of birth, event and age, and in which order. The most likely combinations are supported.
  • The keys are B or b for birth, D, d, E or E for death or event, and A or a for age.

• The template uses "age of infant" template so that ages are displayed as months and days up to one year, years and months up to three years, and years beyond.

• the dates can be displayed in international format (df=y), pseudo ISO format (iso=y) or month first format (default).

Usage

• {{Birth event age|BDA|1962|04|10|1969|7|20|df=y}}
  

10 April 1962 – 20 July 1969 (age 7 years)

• {{Birth event age|bea|1962|04|10|df=y}}
  

10 April 1962 – 1 January 2025 (age 62 years)

• {{Birth event age|b|1962|04|10|iso=y}}
  

1962-04-10

• {{Birth event age|ba|1962|04|10|df=y}}
  

10 April 1962 (age 62 years)

Example

Cut and paste can be used to reduce error, with just the format strings changed

born = {{Birth event age|b|1962|04|10|1969|7|20|df=y}}
died = {{Birth event age|ea|1962|04|10|1969|7|20|df=y}}

displays as

born = 10 April 1962
died = 20 July 1969 (age 7 years)
