Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 = the person's name (becomes hCard's "fn" class).
2. template type = "birth date" or "birth date and age" (emits data formatted in hCard's bday class; do not use the latter for dead people)
3. birth year = four digits
4. birth month = two digits
5. birth day = two digits

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

|08
}} ipsum

which may be written in one line, as:

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