This module is intended to aid in calculating/formatting birth dates and death dates in {{tl|Infobox person}} and other [[:Category:People and person infobox templates|People and person infobox templates]].<br />
<br />
This module generates errors when it encounters invalid input. Error descriptions and how to fix them are listed at {{cl|Pages using age template with invalid date}}.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:person date|birth<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
*<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:person date|death<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
== In infoboxes ==<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Infobox<br />
...<br />
| label# = Born<br />
| data# = {{#invoke:person date|birth}}<br />
<br />
| label# = Died<br />
| data# = {{#invoke:person date|death}}<br />
...<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
Or <br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"><br />
{{Infobox<br />
...<br />
| label# = Born<br />
| data# = {{br separated entries<br />
|1={{#if:{{{birth_name|}}}|<div style="display:inline" class="nickname">{{{birth_name|}}}</div>}}<br />
|2={{#invoke:person date|birth}}<br />
|3={{#if:{{{birth_place|}}}|<div class="birthplace">{{{birth_place|}}}</div>}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
| label# = Died<br />
| data# = {{br separated entries<br />
|1={{#invoke:person date|death}}<br />
|2={{#if:{{{death_place|}}}|<div class="deathplace">{{{death_place|}}}</div>}}<br />
}}<br />
...<br />
}}<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
== Areas for improvement ==<br />
#Currently the module does not handle anything that is not a simple date. So anything with a reference tag is not evaluated by the code.<br />
#If {{para|birth_date|{{tlc|bda|1993|11|7}}}} (for example) then {{para|death_date}} will not be parsed. It will just be returned as the original string. Thus no age is calculated.<br />
<br />
== Tracking categories ==<br />
*{{clc|Pages where birth or death is being automatically determined}} <br />
*{{clc|Pages using age template with invalid date}}<br />
*{{clc| Category:Pages with invalid birth or death dates}}<br />
