Templates supported
Module:Age implements the following templates:
| Template | Required wikitext |
|---|---|
| {{age}} | {{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years}}
|
| {{age in years and months}} | {{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_ym}}
|
| {{birth date and age}} | {{#invoke:age|birth_date_and_age}}
|
| {{death date and age}} | {{#invoke:age|death_date_and_age}}
|
Redirects
| Template | Redirects to |
|---|---|
| {{Bda}} | {{birth date and age}} |
| {{Dda}} | {{death date and age}} |
The age templates expect the older date to be first. The implementations of age_in_years display an error message if that is not the case. If similar checking is wanted for other templates, |negative=error can be added to the invoke. For example, {{age}} might use:
{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years|negative=error}}
If |negative=error does not apply, a negative difference is indicated with a minus sign (−).
Date formats
Dates can use numbered or named parameters to specify year/month/day. Alternatively, a full date can be entered in a variety of formats. For example:
{{age in years and months}}→ 11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months}}→ 11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|2001|1|10|2012|2|20}}→ 11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|2001-1-10|2012-2-20}}→ 11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|January 10, 2001|Feb 20, 2012}}→ 11 years, 1 month
If the first or second date is omitted, the current date is used. For example:
{{age in years and months}}→ −12 years, 9 months{{age in years and months|2012|2|20}}→ −12 years, 9 months{{age in years and months|2012-2-20}}→ −12 years, 9 months{{age in years and months|20 Feb 2012}}→ −12 years, 9 months{{age in years and months|Feb 20, 2012}}→ −12 years, 9 months{{age in years and months}}→ 23 years, 10 months{{age in years and months}}→ 23 years, 10 months{{age in years and months|2001|1|10}}→ 23 years, 10 months{{age in years and months|2001-1-10}}→ 23 years, 10 months{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001}}→ 23 years, 10 months{{age in years and months|January 10, 2001}}→ 23 years, 10 months
Parameters
The following options are available:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|duration=on |
The finishing date is included in the result; that adds one day to the age. |
|fix=on |
Adjust invalid time units. See Template:Extract#Fix. |
|format=commas |
A value of 1,000 or more is displayed with commas. |
|format=raw |
Numbers are displayed without commas and negative numbers are displayed with a hyphen for {{#expr}}. In addition, {{age}} outputs a plain number and will not include a span to indicate if the result relies on the current date.
|
|format=cardinal |
Display the resulting number using words such as "five" instead of 5. See below. |
|format=ordinal |
Display the resulting number using words such as "fifth" instead of 5. See below. |
|prefix=text |
Insert the given text before the result but after any sort key. For example, {{age|23 July 1910|14 July 1976|prefix=about|sortable=on}} outputs a hidden sort key followed by "about 65".
|
|range=dash |
Accept a year only, or a year and month only, and show a range of ages with an en dash (–). |
|range=yes |
Accept a year or year/month, and show the range with "or". |
|range=no |
Accept a year only, or year/month, but show only a single age as if full dates had been entered. |
|round=on |
The age is rounded to the nearest least-significant time unit. |
|sc=on |
A serial comma is used (only useful when three or more values are displayed). |
|sc=yes |
Same as |sc=on.
|
|show=hide |
The age is not displayed; may be useful with |sortable=on.
|
|sortable=on |
Insert a hidden sort key before the result (for use in sortable tables). |
|sortable=table |
Insert a sort key using table syntax data-sort-value="value"|
|
|sortable=debug |
Same as |sortable=on but the sort key is displayed for testing.
|
|sortable=off |
No sort key. |
Examples using the |range= parameter follow.
{{age in years and months}}→ 11 years, 0 or 1 month{{age in years and months|2001|1|2012|2}}→ 11 years, 0 or 1 month{{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 0 or 1 month{{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 0–1 month{{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 1 month assume 1 Jan 2001 to 1 Feb 2012{{age in years and months|12 Jan 2001|Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 1 month assume 12 Jan 2001 to 12 Feb 2012{{age in years and months|2001|2012}}→ 11 years assume 1 Jan 2001 to 1 Jan 2012{{age in years and months|2001|23 Feb 2012}}→ 11 years assume 23 Feb 2001 to 23 Feb 2012
The sort key is based on the age in days, and fractions of a day if a time is specified.
{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}}→ 7003405800000000000♠11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012}}→ 7003405825000000000♠11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012}}→ 7003405825000000000♠
An extra day is added for a duration.
{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012}}→ 11 years one day short of 11 years, 1 month{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 1 month
The least-significant time unit can be rounded.
{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012}}→ 11 years{{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012}}→ 11 years, 1 month round to nearest month
Large numbers can be formatted with commas.
{{age in years and months|120|2012}}→ 1,891 or 1,892 years{{age in years and months|120|2012}}→ 1,891–1,892 years
Spelling numbers
The templates that use age_generic can display numbers in words rather than using numerals. The result can be a cardinal number (such as "five") or an ordinal number (such as "fifth"). The first letter can be in uppercase, and US spelling of numbers can be used. Examples:
{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = cardinal}}→ one hundred and twenty{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = cardinal_us}}→ one hundred twenty{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = Cardinal}}→ One hundred and twenty{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = Cardinal_us}}→ One hundred twenty{{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = Ordinal}}→ One hundred and twentieth{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = Ordinal_us}}→ One hundred twentieth{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = ordinal}}→ one hundred and twentieth{{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format = ordinal_us}}→ one hundred twentieth{{ge|1980|1990|format = Cardinal}}→ Nine or ten
