'''This form is only intended for living persons.''' For dead persons, use {{tl|birth date}}. 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. | '''This form is only intended for living persons.''' For dead persons, use {{tl|birth date}}.

However, as per [[WP:DOB]], a full birth date for a living person should '''only''' be displayed when it can be cited as being '''widely''' published, or published with the clear approval of the person involved. Otherwise, use {{tl|birth year and age}} instead. | |||
