Template:Age switch/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

This template is intended to be used by other templates. It returns a "0" if the "age," with respect to "d," has not been reached or a "1" if it has. Returns "-1" if "d" is not a valid date.

It is useful for countdown timers.

Parameters
  • |d= is the date the clock "starts" at
  • |age= is the age at which the result will change from 0 to 1. (optional, default is 1 week)
Limitations
  • The "switch" from 0 to 1 happens only when the page this template is used on is updated or purged. If a page includes a template which calls this template, it is the page the reader sees, not the template which calls this template, which must be purged or updated.
