Usage
This template combines the functionality of the following templates:
- {{Birth date}}
- {{Birth year and age}} – year of birth and approximate age
- {{Death date}}
- {{Death date and age}} – same as {{Death date}}, except that "(aged ##)" appears after the death date
- {{Death year and age}}
Using this template rather than simply inserting the date into articles allows for the inclusion of hidden metadata about the date. This metadata can be used by web browsers and other software tools to extract the details, and display them using some other website or mapping tool, index or search them.
The minimum information required by the template is a birth or death year.
Syntax
{{BirthDeathAge | [insert "B" for a birth date, or leave blank for a death date] |
[year of birth] | [month of birth] | [day of birth] | [year of death] |
[month of death] | [day of death]}}
The template name can be abbreviated to {{BDA}}.
Any missing information can simply be left out of the template: see the examples below.
