Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

To use this template on a player's form, basically do the following:

Examples

Unnamed parameters for year, month, day

{{Birth date and age|1993|2|24}} returns " (1993-02-24) February 24, 1993"

{{Birth date and age|1993|2|24|df=yes}} returns " (1993-02-24) 24 February 1993"

{{Birth date and age|1993|2|24|mf=yes}} returns " (1993-02-24) February 24, 1993"

Named parameters for year, month, day

{{Birth date and age|year=1993|month=2|day=24}} returns " (1993-02-24) February 24, 1993"

{{Birth date and age|year=1993|month=2|day=24|df=yes}} returns " (1993-02-24) 24 February 1993"

{{Birth date and age|year=1993|month=2|day=24|mf=yes}} returns " (1993-02-24) February 24, 1993"

Using month name instead of number

The following examples use a parameter value that will not work in the {{Birth date}}, {{Death date}}, or {{Death date and age}} templates.

Unnamed parameters for year, month name, day

{{Birth date and age|1993|Feb|24}} returns " (1993-Feb-24) February 24, 1993"

{{Birth date and age|1993|Feb|24|df=yes}} returns " (1993-Feb-24) 24 February 1993"

{{Birth date and age|1993|Feb|24|mf=yes}} returns " (1993-Feb-24) February 24, 1993"

Named parameters for year, month name, day

{{Birth date and age|year=1993|month=Feb|day=24}} returns " (1993-Feb-24) February 24, 1993"

{{Birth date and age|year=1993|month=Feb|day=24|df=yes}} returns " (1993-Feb-24) 24 February 1993"

{{Birth date and age|year=1993|month=Feb|day=24|mf=yes}} returns " (1993-Feb-24) February 24, 1993"

Using full date in one parameter

The following examples use a parameter value that will not work in the {{Birth date}}, {{Death date}}, or {{Death date and age}} templates.

The date format entered does not change the date format displayed, which is MDY by default or DMY if |df=y (to display the date in the same format it was entered, use {{Birth-date and age}}).

Unnamed parameter for full date (output in MDY format)

{{Birth date and age|1993-2-24}} returns " (1993-2-24-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) , 1993-2-24"

{{Birth date and age|Feb 24, 1993}} returns " (Feb 24, 1993-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) , Feb 24, 1993"

{{Birth date and age|24 Feb 1993}} returns " (24 Feb 1993-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) , 24 Feb 1993"

Unnamed parameter for full date (output in DMY format)

{{Birth date and age|1993-2-24|df=y}} returns " (1993-2-24-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) 1993-2-24"

{{Birth date and age|24 Feb 1993|df=y}} returns " (24 Feb 1993-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) 24 Feb 1993"

{{Birth date and age|Feb 24, 1993|df=y}} returns " (Feb 24, 1993-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) Feb 24, 1993"

Output as compared to {{Birth-date and age}}

{{Birth date and age|24 February 1993}} returns " (24 February 1993-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) , 24 February 1993"

{{Birth-date and age|24 February 1993}} returns "Template:Birth-date and age"

{{Birth date and age|Feb. 24, 1993}} returns " (Feb. 24, 1993-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) , Feb. 24, 1993"

{{Birth-date and age|Feb. 24, 1993}} returns "Template:Birth-date and age"
