Template:Death date and age/doc
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
 |
This is the template documentation page for {{Death date and age}}. It is not intended to be viewed directly. If it uses variables, some links may appear broken. Do not replace these variables with page names or URLs. |
Returns a person's date of death and his/her age at that date.
Using this template rather than simply inserting the date into articles allows for the inclusion of hidden metadata about the date. This metadata can be used by web browsers and other software tools to extract the details, and display them using some other website or mapping tool, index or search them.
- Syntax:
- {{Death date and age/doc|year of death|month of death|day of death|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}
- Format
- {{Death date and age/doc|yyyy|mm|dd|yyyy|mm|dd}}
- Example:
{{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1941|4|12}}
returns February 24 1993 (aged 51)
An optional parameter, df, can be set to "yes" to display the day before the month. This is primarily used in articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date.
- Example:
{{Death date and age|1993|2|24|1941|4|12|df=yes}}
returns "24 February 1993 (aged 51)"
Note: The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen above).
