Description

This template calculates the difference between start 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

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