Description

This template calculates the difference between birth dates and the current date. It also makes the date within infoboxes machine-readable for bots, by formatting the dates with hidden text written using a standardized date format.

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

• {{Birth date and age|year|month|day}}
• {{Birth date and age|year|month|day|df=yes}}

Examples

Terry Pratchett's birthday written using American-style dates:

{{Birth date and age|1948|04|28}} April 28, 1948 (1948-04-28)

Same birthday written using British-style dates:

{{Birth date and age|1948|04|28|df=yes}} 28 April 1948 (1948-04-28)
