{{Birth date}} will return a person's date of birth. Using this template rather than simply inserting the date into articles is mostly for ease and formatting.
For an article about a living person, consider using {{Birth date and age}} instead.
Usage
- Unnamed parameters for year, month, day
- {{Birth date
|year of birth |month of birth |day of birth |additional parameters}}
- Named parameters for year, month, day
- {{Birth date
|year=year of birth |month=month of birth |day=day of birth |additional parameters}}
Additional parameters
The |df= (day first) and |mf= (month first) parameters indicate the intended date format to display. The appropriate parameter should be set to "y" or "yes", e.g. |df or |df.
The default output of this template is to display the month before the day. This default may not be appropriate for articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date. In such articles the parameter, |df=, should be set to display the day before the month.
The parameter |mf=, while not actually used by the template, will indicate that month first format is intended. Using these parameters can assist bots or other automated processing to detect which date format is intended; leaving the format as default may lead an editor or bot to change the format to an unintended value.
Do not specify both |df= and |mf= parameters in the same use of the template, as these formats are mutually exclusive.
Examples
Unnamed parameters for year, month, day:
{{Birth date|1993|2|24}}→ February 24, 1993{{Birth date|1993|2|24|df=yes}}→ 24 February, 1993{{Birth date|1993|2|24|mf=yes}}→ February 24, 1993
Named parameters for year, month, day:
{{Birth date|year=1993|month=2|day=24}}→ February 24, 1993{{Birth date|year=1993|month=2|day=24|df=yes}}→ 24 February, 1993{{Birth date|year=1993|month=2|day=24|mf=yes}}→ February 24, 1993
