Template:Birth date and age/doc: Difference between revisions

The default output of this template is to display the month before the day. The majority of readers will see the date displayed this way because they aren’t logged in and therefore don't have accounts with a [[help:preferences#Date_format|date preference]] set. This default may not be appropriate articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date. In such articles the optional parameter, "df", can be set (to "y" or "yes" for example) to display the day before the month. Conversely the parameter "mf" can be set for month first, currently the default behaviour.

:<nowiki>{{Birth date | 1993 | 2 | 24 | df=yes }}</nowiki> displays <!-- Don't remove "24_February|" from this example --> "[[24_February|24 February]] [[1993]]" to readers without a date preference.

:<nowiki>{{Birth date and age | 1993 | 2 | 24 | df=yes }}</nowiki> displays <!-- Don't remove "24_February|" from this example --> "[[24_February|24 February]] [[1993]] (age {{Age|1993|2|24}})" to readers without a date preference.
