Модул:Age

Templates supported

Module:Age implements the following templates:

Template	Required wikitext
{{extract}}	{{#invoke:age|extract}}
{{gregorian serial date}}	{{#invoke:age|gsd}}
{{JULIANDAY}}	{{#invoke:age|JULIANDAY}}
{{time interval}}	{{#invoke:age|time_interval}}
{{age in days}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_days}}
{{age in days nts}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_days_nts}}
{{duration in days}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=duration_days}}
{{duration in days nts}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=duration_days_nts}}
{{age}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years}}
{{age nts}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years_nts}}
{{age in years}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_in_years}}
{{age in years nts}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_in_years_nts}}
{{age for infant}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_infant}}
{{age in months}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_m}}
{{age in weeks}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_w}}
{{age in weeks and days}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_wd}}
{{age in years and days}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_yd}}
{{age in years and months}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_ym}}
{{age in years, months and days}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_ymd}}
{{age in years, months, weeks and days}}	{{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_ymwd}}

The age templates expect the older date to be first. The implementations of age_in_years and age_in_years_nts display an error message if that is not the case. If similar checking is wanted for other templates, negative=error can be added to the invoke. For example, {{age}} might use:

• {{#invoke:age|age_generic|template=age_full_years|negative=error}}

If negative=error does not apply, a negative difference is indicated with a minus sign (−).

Date formats

Dates can use numbered or named parameters to specify year/month/day. Alternatively, a full date can be entered in a variety of formats. For example:

• {{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|2001|1|10|2012|2|20}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|2001-1-10|2012-2-20}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|January 10, 2001|Feb 20, 2012}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci

If the first or second date is omitted, the current date is used. For example:

• {{age in years and months|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → −13 godina, 11 meseci
• {{age in years and months|year2=2012|month2=2|day2=20}} → −13 godina, 11 meseci
• {{age in years and months||||2012|2|20}} → −13 godina, 11 meseci
• {{age in years and months||2012-2-20}} → −13 godina, 11 meseci
• {{age in years and months||20 Feb 2012}} → −13 godina, 11 meseci
• {{age in years and months||Feb 20, 2012}} → −13 godina, 11 meseci
• {{age in years and months|year1=2001|month1=1|day1=10}} → 25 godina
• {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|day=10}} → 25 godina
• {{age in years and months|2001|1|10}} → 25 godina
• {{age in years and months|2001-1-10}} → 25 godina
• {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001}} → 25 godina
• {{age in years and months|January 10, 2001}} → 25 godina

Parameters

The following options are available:

Parameter	Description
duration=on	The finishing date is included in the result; that adds one day to the age.
fix=on	Adjust invalid time units. See Template:Extract#Fix.
format=commas	A value of 1,000 or more is displayed with commas.
range=on	Accept a year only, or a year and month only, and show a range of ages.
range=dash	Accept a year or year/month, and show the range with a dash (–).
round=on	The age is rounded to the nearest least-significant time unit.
sc=on	A serial comma is used (only useful when three or more values are displayed).
sc=yes	Same as sc=on.
show=hide	The age is not displayed; may be useful with sortable=on.
sortable=on	Insert a hidden sort key before the result (for use in sortable tables).
sortable=debug	Same as sortable=on but the sort key is displayed for testing.
sortable=off	No sort key (can override the default for a template like {{age nts}}).

Examples using the range parameter follow.

• {{age in years and months|year=2001|month=1|year2=2012|month2=2|range=on}} → 11 godina, 0 ili 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|2001|1||2012|2|range=on}} → 11 godina, 0 ili 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=on}} → 11 godina, 0 ili 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|Jan 2001|Feb 2012|range=dash}} → 11 godina, 0—1 meseci

The sort key is based on the age in days, and fractions of a day if a time is specified.

• {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug}} → 7003405800000000000♠11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug}} → 7003405825000000000♠11 godina, 1 meseci
• {{age in years and months|10 Jan 2001|6:00 am 20 Feb 2012|sortable=debug|show=hide}} → 7003405825000000000♠

An extra day is added for a duration.

• {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012}} → 11 godina (one day short of 11 years, 1 month)
• {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|19 Feb 2012|duration=on}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci

The least-significant time unit can be rounded.

• {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012}} → 11 godina
• {{age in years and months|20 Jan 2001|10 Feb 2012|round=on}} → 11 godina, 1 meseci (round to nearest month)

Large numbers can be formatted with commas.

• {{age in years and months|120|2012|format=commas|range=on}} → 1.891 ili 1.892 godina
• {{age in years and months|120|2012|format=commas|range=dash}} → 1.891—1.892 godina

• {{time interval}} • This template supports all age/duration calculations and provides more options such as abbreviating or omitting units.
