Template:Age

This template returns an age from either a specified date, or the reference date for the current state of writing, which is April 2nd, 2353.

Reference

How to Use:

To calculate the number of years between the reference date and an entered date

{{age|year1|month1|day1}}

To calculate the number of years between two dates (e.g., age at time of death):

{{age|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}}

Examples:

Current Age: Ens. Smith was born on August 18, 2333.

{{age|2333|8|18}}

which gives you her current age: 19

Age at a Specific Date: She was on Starbase 49 when peace was declared on 2352.12.01 CE

{{age|2333|8|18|2352|12|1}}

which gives you: 19

Notice that you do NOT add leading zeros for the month or day if it is a single digit.

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|2333|8|18|2352|12|1}}

When a template is substituted on a page, the code will be permanently replaced with the calculated value.

When entering dates before the Common Era, use astronomical year numbering: 1 BCE is represented by 0, 2 BCE by -1, 3 BCE by -2 etc. For example, the following expression returns the number of full years between the current stardate and the Battle of Cannae, which took place on August 2, 216 BCE:

{{age|-215|8|2}} returns "2567"

Note:

This template does not check for incorrect input:

{{age|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}} returns "12" (surplus days do not count as extra months)

{{age|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}} returns "13" (surplus months do not count as extra years)
