This template uses Lua: |
{{Birth-date and age}} displays a person’s birth date and age. Besides calculating the age of the person, the benefit of using this template is to allow for the inclusion of hidden microformat dates, which may be indexed or searched by software tools.
Note: The template may not calculate the age correctly if a full date (month, day, year) is not provided. For example, a person who was born in 1941 could be either 80 or 81, depending on whether they have reached their birthday in the current year:
{{Birth-date and age|1941}}
→ 1941 (age 81){{Birth-date and age|June 1941}}
→ June 1941 (age 81)
When only the year is known, consider using {{Birth year and age}} instead:
{{Birth year and age|1941}}
→ 1941 (age 80–81){{Birth year and age|1941|6}}
→ June 1941 (age 80–81)
