Wikipedia uses several templates that self-update every day to keep date and age information current. These are very useful for a dynamic online encyclopedia and save users from having to regularly update that kind of information. However, when using this kind of template, a few things should be kept in mind.
This template will return a living person's date of birth 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. Template parameters ...
Note: The template may not calculate the age correctly if a full date (month, day, year) is not provided. For example, a person who was born in 1941 could be either 83 or 84, depending on whether they have reached their birthday in the current year: {{Birth-date and age|1941}} → 1941 () (age 84)
Therefore, the template {{Birth year and age|1969|6}} displays their birth year and age as: 1969 (age 54). If it is presently June 2024, we do not know whether the person has had their birthday this year yet since their day of birth is unknown. Therefore, the template displays their birth year and age as: 1969 (age 54–55).

Let us assume: that the person in question was born some time in 1973; and; that they died some time in 2023. We can posit as two extremes: (1) that the person was born on 31 December 1973 and died on 1 January 2023, in which case they would have been 49 years old at the time of their death as they did not achieve their 50th birthday on 31 December 2023; and (2) that they were born on 1 ...
Day: 4: Day of publication of reference. Example 21: Number: suggested: Hide age: noage: Set to a value of 'yes' to display year of birth without the age. Default no (i.e., the default is to show the age) Example 1: Boolean: optional: Slash separator: slash: Set to 'yes' to separate years with a '/' for tight spaces (e.g., table cells ...
