Purpose

This template creates an inline hCard microformat for a person, with their date of birth (and optionally age, if living), using either {{birth date}} or {{birth date and age}}.

For inline hCards for a building, organisation or place, see {{Hcard-geo}}).

Use

The template has five parameters:

  1. name = Qaasim Asani Malik Middleton(becomes hCard's "fn" class).
  2. template type = "January 13, 1996" or "1/13/96" (emits data formatted in hCard's bday class; do not use the latter for dead people)
  3. birth year = 1996
  4. birth month = 01
  5. birth day = 13

Copyable code

Overwrite place-holder text; remove " and age" if subject is dead:

{{hcard-bday|PersonName|birth date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}}

Examples

|Tim Berners-Lee
|birth date and age

|06
|08
}} ipsum

which may be written in one line, as:

lorem {{hcard-bday|Tim Berners-Lee|birth date and age|1955|06|08}} ipsum

gives:
