Template:Death date no year/doc

	This is a documentation subpage for Template:Death date no year. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is to be used when the person's year of death is unknown. Using this template rather than simply inserting the date into articles is mostly for ease and formatting.

If the year is known, please use the {{Death date and age}} template.
