Trying to help Lulz to see if we can get an age template going. Somehow excluded from the MediaWiki version.

== Usage ==
 
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.
 
; Syntax<nowiki>:</nowiki>
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''|''day''|''year2''|''month2''|''day2''}}</code> or
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''year''|''month''|''day''}}</code>
 
; Examples<nowiki>:</nowiki>
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}"
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1989|7|23}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1989|7|23}}"
 
: When using this template to calculate a person's age at death or a person's age on a specified date (rather than the person's current age), please substitute it into the page (see [[Help:Substitution]]).
:: Example: <code><nowiki>{{subst:</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}</code>
 
: When entering dates before the [[Common Era]], use astronomical year numbering: 1 BCE is represented by 0, 2 BCE by -1, 3 BCE by -2 etc. For example, the following expression returns the number of full years elapsed since the battle of Cannae, which took place on August 2, 216 BCE:
:: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|-215|8|2}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|-215|8|2}}"
: (BCE is exactly the same as BC, so August 2, 216 BCE is also August 2, 216 BC)
 
; Note<nowiki>:</nowiki>
: This template does not check for incorrect input:
:: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}}" (surplus days do not count as extra months)
:: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}}" (surplus months do not count as extra years)
