Template:Birth-date and age/doc



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 or, depending on whether they have reached their birthday in the current year:
 * → 1941
 * → August 1941

When only the year is known, consider using Birth year and age instead:
 * → 1941 (age 83)
 * → 1941 (age 83)
