Template:Age2
This template returns the number(s) of full years between two specified dates. It may return one number (e.g. "50") or two possible numbers (e.g. "50-51") of full years, depending on the given information of the two dates.
The template is especially designed for situations where the day, or day and month, of the two dates is unknown. If the year, month and day are all known, you may use {{Age}} or {{Age nts}} as well.
Usage[edit]
{{Age2|<year1(yyyy)>|<month1(mm)>|<day1(dd)>|<year2(yyyy)>|<month2(mm)>|<day2(dd)>|sortable=}}
year1,month1,day1are for the starting dateyear2,month2,day2are for the ending dateyear1andyear2are requiredmonth1,month2,day1,day2are optional, if one or some of them is unknown, it may be omitted, or left blank, or filled in "0", "00", like:{{Age2|2000|7|23|2010||}}or{{Age2|2000|7|23|2010}};{{Age2|2000|0|0|2010|7|14}}or{{Age2|2000|||2010|7|14}}- When entering dates before the Common Era, use astronomical year numbering: 1 BC is represented by 0, 2 BC by -1, 3 BC by -2, etc. For example, to calculate Augustus (23 September 63 BC – 19 August 14 AD)'s age:
{{Age2|-62|9|23|14|8|19}}returns "75" - "sortable", optional, fill in "yes" to add a hidden key, making it sort correctly in sortable tables:
{{Age2|2000|7|23|2010|7||sortable=yes}}returns "9-10", whose HTML code is "<span style="display:none">&10000000000000009500000</span>9-10", where it is considered 9.5, making it greater than 9 but less than 10.

| 10 | 23 July 2000 | 29 July 2010 |
| 9-10 | 23 July 2000 | 1 July 2010 |
{{Age2|2000|7|23|2010|7|14}}returns "9"{{Age2|2000|7|23|2010|7|}}returns "9-10" (if day2 >= 23 it'll be 10, otherwise it'll be 9){{Age2|2000|6|23|2010|7|}}returns "10" (it can only be 10){{Age2|2000|8|23|2010|7|}}returns "9" (it can only be 9){{Age2|2000|7||2010|7|}}returns "9-10" (10 and 9 are both possible)
When one of the dates is the first or last day of the month or year:
{{Age2|2000|1|1|2010||}}returns "10" (it can only be 10, even if month2 and day2 are both 1){{Age2|2000|7||2010|7|31}}returns "10" (it can only be 10, even if day1 = 31){{Age2|2000|7|31|2010|7|}}returns "9-10" (if day2 = 31 it'll be 10, otherwise it'll be 9){{Age2|2000|2|29|2010|2|}}returns "9" (it can only be 9){{Age2|2000|2||2010|2|28}}returns "9-10" (if day1 = 29 (2000 is a leap year) it'll be 9, otherwise it'll be 10)
Note[edit]
This template does not check for incorrect input:
{{age|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}}returns "Error: Second date should be year, month, day" (surplus days do not count as extra months){{age|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}}returns "Error: Second date should be year, month, day" (surplus months do not count as extra years)
 | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
