This template returns the number of full years between two specified dates. If the second set of parameters is not included, it will return the number of full years between a specified date and the last day of the dates currently in play at Absit Omen, 31 August 2018.
- Syntax:
- {{age|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}} or
- {{age|year1|month1|day1}}
- Examples:
- {{age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}} returns "13"
- {{age|1989|7|23}} returns "29"
- {{age|1989|7|23|2003}} returns "13-14"
- 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 elapsed since the battle of Cannae, which took place on August 2, 216 BCE:
- {{age|-215|8|2}} returns "2233"
- {{age|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}} returns "(age calculation issue)"
- {{age|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}} returns "(age calculation issue)"
