Template:Birth date and age/doc

Usage

These templates ({{Birth date}} and {{Birth date and age}}) return a person's date of birth and optionally his/her age.

Syntax:

{{Birth date|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}

or

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

Examples:

{{Birth date|1993|2|24}} returns "(1993-02-24)February 24, 1993"

{{Birth date and age|1993|2|24}} returns (1993-02-24) February 24, 1993

An optional perimeter, df, can be set to "yes" to display the day before the month. This is primarily used for articles about people from Europe.

Examples:

{{Birth date|1993|2|24|df=yes}} returns "(1993-02-24)24 February 1993"

{{Birth date and age|1993|2|24|df=yes}} returns " (1993-02-24) 24 February 1993"

The templates also return the date, hidden by CSS, in the ISO 8601 format needed by hCard microformats. for example:

(<span class="bday">1993-02-24</span>)

See the microformats project for details.

Note: The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen above).
