This template returns the number of full years between two specified dates. If the second set of parameters is not included, it will return the number of full years between a specified date and today's date.

Usage

To current date

{{Age|START DATE}}

To specific date

{{Age|START DATE|END DATE}}

Date formatting

Dates have to be formatted year, month, date; zero-padded, no punctuation. If you did it right, you should have a total of eight digits. Christmas Eve 2007 would be formatted as 20071224, for example.

For comparison and understanding:

Today is Thursday, March 28, 2024.
In digits, this would either be 03/28/2024 (US) or 28/03/2024 (majority of the world).
Formatted correctly for the template, it would be 20240328.

Non-dates and illegal dates

  • Due to technical reasons, dates before January 1st, 1970 and after January 18th, 2038 cannot be processed. Input that falls outside of this range will be displayed unchanged.
  • Any non-numerical input will be displayed unprocessed as well.
