−
'''This form is only intended for living persons.''' In the rare case that a living person's birth date is given in a non-Gregorian calendar this template should not be used. The parameter names 'year', 'month', and 'day' can be used instead of the first, second, and third parameters for 'Birth date and age' only. These parameter names are not available for the 'Birth date' template.

using named parameters
−
The '''df''' (day first) and '''mf''' (month first) parameters indicate the intended date format to display. The appropriate parameter should be set to "y" or "yes" e.g. '''df=yes''' or '''mf=y'''.
+
:<code><nowiki>{{birth date and age|day=4|month=1|year=1983}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{birth date and age|day=4|month=1|year=1983}}"

:<code><nowiki>{{birth date and age|month=January|day=4|year=1983}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{birth date and age|month=January|day=4|year=1983}}"
  
−
The default output of this template is to display the month before the day. This default may not be appropriate for articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date. In such articles the parameter, "df", should be set to display the day before the month.

This template was derived from [[Wikipedia:Template:Birth date and age|Wikipedia]], but this is a less complex version which takes no additional parameters.

The parameter "mf", while not actually used by the template, will indicate that month first format is intended.

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Birth date and age.

The {{birth date and age}} template will return a person's date of birth and his/her calculated age. It has the shortcut {{bda}}.

This template is intended for living persons only. In the rare case that a living person's birth date is given in a non-Gregorian calendar this template should not be used.

Usage

To display a birth date with calculated age use:

{{birth date and age|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}

or the shortcut:

{{bda|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}

The parameters for year (1) and day (3) are numerical. The second parameter, for the month, can be numerical or passed as a string. The month name is case insensitive and may be abbreviated. The parameter names 'year', 'month', and 'day' can be used instead of the first, second, and third parameters.

Examples:

using default parameters for year/month/day

{{birth date and age|1983|1|4}} returns "1983-Jan-04 (age 43)"
{{birth date and age|1983|01|04}} returns "1983-Jan-04 (age 43)"
{{birth date and age|1983|Jan|04}} returns "1983-Jan-04 (age 43)"
{{birth date and age|1983|January|4}} returns "1983-Jan-04 (age 43)"

using named parameters

{{birth date and age|day=4|month=1|year=1983}} returns "1983-Jan-04 (age 43)"
{{birth date and age|month=January|day=4|year=1983}} returns "1983-Jan-04 (age 43)"
