<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->

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>
:<nowiki>{{age|year1|month1|day1|year2|month2|day2}}</nowiki> or
:<nowiki>{{age|year1|month1|day1}}</nowiki>

; Examples<nowiki>:</nowiki>
: <nowiki>{{age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}</nowiki> returns "{{age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}"
: <nowiki>{{age|1989|7|23}}</nowiki> returns "{{age|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.
:: Example: <nowiki>{{subst:age|1989|7|23|2003|7|14}}</nowiki>

: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:
:: <nowiki>{{age|-215|8|2}}</nowiki> returns "{{age|-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:
:: <nowiki>{{age|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}}</nowiki> returns "{{age|1980|7|14|1993|6|233}}" (surplus days do not count as extra months)
:: <nowiki>{{age|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}}</nowiki> returns "{{age|1980|7|14|1993|88|14}}" (surplus months do not count as extra years)
