Andoza:Birth-date and age

Andoza hujjati

{{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 82 or 83, depending on whether they have reached their birthday in the current year:

{{Birth-date and age|1941}} → 1941 (1941) (yoshi 83)

{{Birth-date and age|noyabr 1941}} → Not recognized as a date. Years must have 4 digits (use leading zeros for years < 1000). (yoshi )

When only the year is known, consider using {{Birth year and age}} instead:

{{Birth year and age|1941}} → 1941 (yoshi 82–83)

{{Birth year and age|1941|11}} → noyabr 1941 (yoshi 82–83)

Usage

Format

{{Birth-date and age| birth date }}

{{Birth-date and age| birth date | wikitext to display in place of 'birth date'. Like the right hand parameter in a wikilink, this could be alternate text, links, templates etc. }}

hCard microformat

This template also returns the date, hidden by CSS, in the ISO 8601 standard. For example:

(<span class="bday">1993-02-24</span>)

Note: For the "foundation", "built" and similar set-up dates of companies, buildings etc., use {{start date}} (this will work for year-only or month-year dates). Because the ISO 8601 standard requires the Gregorian calendar, this template should not be used if the date is given in the Julian calendar.
