For a person whose date of birth is unknown, this template estimates the person's birth year and current age based on a given age at a certain date. This is useful when a reliable source states only their age at the time of publication.
Syntax[edit]
Typical use[edit]
{{birth based on age as of date | age | year | month | day }}
{{birth based on age as of date|50|2022|7|8}}The age, year, and day must be supplied as natural numbers; month can be specified as a natural number as well as by name or abbreviation (e.g. "August" or "Aug"). The Gregorian calendar is assumed, with no special support provided for dual dating or the difference between Old Style and New Style dates.
If only the publication year for a source is known, the "day" and "month" fields can be omitted.
No age[edit]
In some contexts—like the lead sentence of a biography—it may be desirable to show only the birth year, and not a person’s age. To suppress the age field, set |noage=yes:
{{birth based on age as of date|50|2022|7|8|noage=1|slash=y}}Separator[edit]
In general, the two possible birth years should be written out as: 1950 or 1951. In contexts which are tight for space, the separator between the two possible years should be a slash: 1950/1951.
To use the / separator, add |slash=yes.
{{birth based on age as of date|50|2022|7|8|slash=yes}}Examples[edit]
If, for example, a reference dated July 4, 2022 mentions that someone is 50 years old, that person's birth year and age can be rendered using:
{{birth based on age as of date|50|2022|July|4}}|
The following examples are for a person reported as being 50 years old in 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
