| | This template will return a living person's date of birth and age. 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. |

| These templates ('''{{tl|Birth date}}''' and '''{{tl|Birth date and age}}''') return a person’s date of birth and optionally his/her age. These have the shortcuts '''{{tl|dob}}''' and '''{{tl|bda}}''' respectively.
| | This template is intended for use in an article about a living person. For an article about a dead person, use {{tl|Birth date}} with {{tl|Death date and age}}. |

| 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.
| | == Usage == |
| | ; Unnamed parameters for year, month, day |
| | : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Birth date and age|''year of birth''|''month of birth''|''day of birth''|''additional parameters''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> |
| | : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>bda|''year of birth''|''month of birth''|''day of birth''|''additional parameters''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> |
|
| |
|
| ===Syntax=== | | ; Named parameters for year, month, day |
| | : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Birth date and age|year=''year of birth''|month=''month of birth''|day=''day of birth''|''additional parameters''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> |
| | : <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>bda|year=''year of birth''|month=''month of birth''|day=''day of birth''|''additional parameters''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> |
|
| |
|
| ==== To display the birth date only ==== | | === Additional parameters === |
| | |
| :<nowiki>{{Birth date|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth|additional parameters}}</nowiki> '''Do not use with non-Gregorian dates''' because the resulting hCard hidden date will be false.
| |
| | |
| ===={{tl|dob}} is a redirect to {{tl|Birth date}}====
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{dob|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth|additional parameters}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| ====To display a birth date with calculated age====
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth|additional parameters}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| '''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.
| |
| | |
| ===={{tl|Bda}} is a redirect to {{tl|Birth date and age}}====
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Bda|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth|additional parameters}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| Examples:
| |
| | |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1993|02|04|df=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{Birth date|1993|02|04|df=yes}}"
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1993|02|04|mf=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{Birth date|1993|02|04|mf=yes}}"
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1993|02|24|df=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{Birth date|1993|02|24|df=yes}}"
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1993|02|24|mf=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{Birth date|1993|02|24|mf=yes}}"
| |
| | |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1993|02|04|mf=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns {{Birth date and age|1993|02|04|mf=yes}}
| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1993|02|04|df=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns {{Birth date and age|1993|02|04|df=yes}}

| |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1993|02|24|df=yes}}</nowiki></code> returns {{Birth date and age|1993|02|24|df=yes}}

| Examples:
| | === Error tracking === |
| | | Some kinds of invalid input are tracked in [[:Category:Pages using age template with invalid date]]. |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1993|02|24|df=yes}}</nowiki></code> displays "{{Birth date|1993|02|24|df=yes}}".
| |
| | |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1993|02|24|df=yes}}</nowiki></code> displays "{{Birth date and age|1993|02|24|df=yes}}".
| |
| | |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1993|02|24|mf=yes}}</nowiki></code> displays "{{Birth date|1993|02|24|mf=yes}}".
| |
| | |
| :<code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1993|02|24|mf=yes}}</nowiki></code> displays "{{Birth date and age|1993|02|24|mf=yes}}".
| |
| | |
| ===hCard microformat===
| |
| The templates also returns the date, hidden by CSS, in the [[WP:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] ''format'' (but not necessarily to the ISO 8601 ''standard'') needed by [[HCard|hCard microformat]]s. for example:
| |
| | |
| :<code><nowiki>(<span class="bday">1993-02-24</span>)</nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| Note: for the "foundation", "built" and similar set-up dates of companies, buildings, etc., use {{tl|Start date}} (this will work for year-only or month-year dates).
| |
| | |
| See [[WP:UF|the microformats project]] for details.
| |
| | |
| ===Notes===
| |
| When only the year of a person's birth and/or death are known, or if it is desired not to state a person's full dates of birth and death for privacy reasons, use the templates {{tl|Birth year and age}} and {{tl|Death year and age}} instead.
| |
| | |
| '''Note:''' The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen above).
| |
| | |
| '''Note:''' Do not use this template inside of the [[WP:PERSONDATA|Persondata]] template, as it can interfere with data extraction.
