local isWarning = {
The age templates expect the older date to be first. The implementations of <code>age_in_years</code> and <code>age_in_years_nts</code> display an error message if that is not the case. If similar checking is wanted for other templates, <code>negative=error</code> can be added to the invoke. For example, {{tl|age}} might use:
['mt-warn-param1'] = true,
*<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years|negative=error}}</nowiki></code>
['mt-warn-param2'] = true,
If <code>negative=error</code> does not apply, a negative difference is indicated with a minus sign (−).
}


-- yes[parameter] is true if parameter should be interpreted as "yes".
== Date formats ==
-- Do not want to accept mixed upper/lowercase unless done by previously used templates.
Dates can use numbered or named parameters to specify year/month/day. Alternatively, a full date can be entered in a variety of formats. For example:
-- Need to accept "on" because "round=on" is wanted.
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}
local yes = mtext['txt-yes']
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|2001|1|10|2012|2|20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|2001|1|10|2012|2|20}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|2001-1-10|2012-2-20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|2001-1-10|2012-2-20}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|January 10, 2001|Feb 20, 2012}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|January 10, 2001|Feb 20, 2012}}


-- Max valid age.
If the first or second date is omitted, the current date is used. For example:
local MAX_AGE = 130
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months||||2012|2|20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months||||2012|2|20}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months||2012-2-20}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months||2012-2-20}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months||20 Feb 2012}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months||20 Feb 2012}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months||Feb 20, 2012}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months||Feb 20, 2012}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|2001|1|10}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|2001|1|10}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|2001-1-10}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|2001-1-10}}
*<code><nowiki>{{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001}}</nowiki></code> → {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001}}

|-
| <code>format=cardinal</code> || Display the resulting number using words such as "five" instead of 5. See [[#Spelling numbers|below]].
|-
| <code>format=ordinal</code> || Display the resulting number using words such as "fifth" instead of 5. See [[#Spelling numbers|below]].
|-
| <code>prefix=''text''</code> || Insert the given ''text'' before the result but after any sort key. For example, <code><nowiki>{{age|23 July 1910|14 July 1976|prefix=about|sortable=on}}</nowiki></code> outputs a hidden sort key followed by "about 65".
|-
| <code>range=dash</code> || Accept a year only, or a year and month only, and show a range of ages with an [[Dash#En dash|en dash]] (–).
|-
| <code>range=yes</code> || Accept a year or year/month, and show the range with "or".
|-
| <code>range=no</code> || Accept a year only, or year/month, but show only a single age as if full dates had been entered.
|-
| <code>round=on</code> || The age is rounded to the nearest least-significant time unit.
|-
| <code>sc=on</code> || A [[serial comma]] is used (only useful when three or more values are displayed).
|-
| <code>sc=yes</code> || Same as <code>sc=on</code>.
|-
| <code>show=hide</code> || The age is not displayed; may be useful with <code>sortable=on</code>.
|-
| <code>sortable=on</code> || Insert a hidden sort key before the result (for use in [[WP:SORT|sortable tables]]).
|-
| <code>sortable=table</code> || Insert a sort key using table syntax <code>data-sort-value="''value''"&#124;</code>.
|-
| <code>sortable=debug</code> || Same as <code>sortable=on</code> but the sort key is displayed for testing.
|-
| <code>sortable=off</code> || No sort key (can override the default for a template like {{tl|age nts}}).

Templates supported

Module:Age implements the following templates:

Template Required wikitext
{{extract}} {{#invoke:age|extract}}
{{gregorian serial date}} {{#invoke:age|gsd}}
{{time interval}} {{#invoke:age|time_interval}}
{{age in days}} {{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_days}}

Redirects

Template Redirects to
{{ayd}}Template:Ayd {{age in years and days nts}}
{{hla}}Template:Hla {{age in years, months and days}}
{{age in months, weeks and days}}Template:Age in months, weeks and days {{age in years, months, weeks and days}}
{{bda}}Template:Bda {{birth date and age}}
{{dda}}Template:Dda {{death date and age}}
{{gsd}}Template:Gsd {{gregorian serial date}}

The age templates expect the older date to be first. The implementations of age_in_years and age_in_years_nts display an error message if that is not the case. If similar checking is wanted for other templates, negative=error can be added to the invoke. For example, {{age}} might use:

  • {{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years|negative=error}}

If negative=error does not apply, a negative difference is indicated with a minus sign (−).

Date formats

Dates can use numbered or named parameters to specify year/month/day. Alternatively, a full date can be entered in a variety of formats. For example:

  • {{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → 11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → 11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|2001|1|10|2012|2|20}} → 11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|2001-1-10|2012-2-20}} → 11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}} → 11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|January 10, 2001|Feb 20, 2012}} → 11 years, 1 month

If the first or second date is omitted, the current date is used. For example:

  • {{age in years and months|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → −13 years, 10 months
  • {{age in years and months||||2012|2|20}} → −13 years, 10 months
  • {{age in years and months||2012-2-20}} → −13 years, 10 months
  • {{age in years and months||20 Feb 2012}} → −13 years, 10 months
  • {{age in years and months||Feb 20, 2012}} → −13 years, 10 months
  • {{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10}} → 25 years
  • {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10}} → 25 years
  • {{age in years and months|2001|1|10}} → 25 years
  • {{age in years and months|2001-1-10}} → 25 years
  • {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001}} → 25 years
  • {{age in years and months|January 10, 2001}} → 25 years

Parameters

The following options are available:

Parameter Description
duration=on The finishing date is included in the result; that adds one day to the age.
fix=on Adjust invalid time units. See Template:Extract#Fix.
format=commas A value of 1,000 or more is displayed with commas.
format=raw Numbers are displayed without commas and negative numbers are displayed with a hyphen for {{#expr}}. In addition, {{age}} outputs a plain number and will not include a span to indicate if the result relies on the current date.
format=cardinal Display the resulting number using words such as "five" instead of 5. See below.
format=ordinal Display the resulting number using words such as "fifth" instead of 5. See below.
prefix=text Insert the given text before the result but after any sort key. For example, {{age|23 July 1910|14 July 1976|prefix=about|sortable=on}} outputs a hidden sort key followed by "about 65".
range=dash Accept a year only, or a year and month only, and show a range of ages with an en dash (–).
range=yes Accept a year or year/month, and show the range with "or".
range=no Accept a year only, or year/month, but show only a single age as if full dates had been entered.
round=on The age is rounded to the nearest least-significant time unit.
sc=on A serial comma is used (only useful when three or more values are displayed).
sc=yes Same as sc=on.
show=hide The age is not displayed; may be useful with sortable=on.
sortable=on Insert a hidden sort key before the result (for use in sortable tables).
sortable=table Insert a sort key using table syntax data-sort-value="value"|.
sortable=debug Same as sortable=on but the sort key is displayed for testing.
sortable=off No sort key (can override the default for a template like {{age nts}}).

Examples using the range parameter follow.

  • {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|year2=2012|month2=2|range=yes}} → 11 years, 0 or 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|2001|1||2012|2|range=yes}} → 11 years, 0 or 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=yes}} → 11 years, 0 or 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=dash}} → 11 years, 0–1 month
  • {{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=no}} → 11 years, 1 month (assume 1 Jan 2001 to 1 Feb 2012)
  • {{age in years and months|12 Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=no}} → 11 years, 1 month (assume 12 Jan 2001 to 12 Feb 2012)
  • {{age in years and months|2001|2012|range=no}} → 11 years (assume 1 Jan 2001 to 1 Jan 2012)
  • {{age in years and months|2001|23 Feb 2012|range=no}} → 11 years (assume 23 Feb 2001 to 23 Feb 2012)

The sort key is based on the age in days, and fractions of a day if a time is specified.

  • {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug}} → 7003405800000000000♠11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug}} → 7003405825000000000♠11 years, 1 month
  • {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug|show=hide}} → 7003405825000000000♠

An extra day is added for a duration.

  • {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012}} → 11 years (one day short of 11 years, 1 month)
  • {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012|duration=on}} → 11 years, 1 month

The least-significant time unit can be rounded.

  • {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012}} → 11 years
  • {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012|round=on}} → 11 years, 1 month (round to nearest month)

Large numbers can be formatted with commas.

  • {{age in years and months|120|2012|format=commas|range=yes}} → 1,891 or 1,892 years
  • {{age in years and months|120|2012|format=commas|range=dash}} → 1,891–1,892 years

Spelling numbers

The templates that use age_generic can display numbers in words rather than using numerals. The result can be a cardinal number (such as "five") or an ordinal number (such as "fifth"). The first letter can be in uppercase, and US spelling of numbers can be used. Examples:

  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=cardinal}} → one hundred and twenty
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=cardinal_us}} → one hundred twenty
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Cardinal}} → One hundred and twenty
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Cardinal_us}} → One hundred twenty
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Ordinal}} → One hundred and twentieth
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=Ordinal_us}} → One hundred twentieth
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=ordinal}} → one hundred and twentieth
  • {{age|1898|01|01|2018|02|01|format=ordinal_us}} → one hundred twentieth
  • {{age|1980|1990|range=yes|format=Cardinal}} → Nine or ten
  • {{age in years, months and days|April 1980|1995|format=Cardinal|range=yes}} → Fourteen or fifteen years
