Description

This template calculates the difference between birth dates and the current date, or a given date if specified.

To accommodate worldwide collaboration between Americans (who use month day, year format) and the rest of the world (who use day month year format) the parameter |df=yes outputs the day first. Otherwise, American-style format prevails.

Usage

• {{Age|birth year|birth month|birth day}}
• {{Age|birth year|birth month|birth day|year|month|day}}
• {{Age|birth year|birth month|birth day|df=yes}}
• {{Age|birth year|birth month|birth day|year|month|day|df=yes}}

Examples
