ਫਰਮਾ:Birth date and age 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 hiddenmetadata 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.
This template is intended for use in an article about a living person. For an article about a dead person, use{{Birth date}} with{{Death date and age}}.
The age displayed was calculated when the page was lastpurged. If a particular article is showing the wrong age, edit the whole page and publish the edit without making any change and with no edit summary. That will update the age. The page can also be purged by appending&action=purge to the URL.
Thedf (day first) andmf (month first) parameters indicate the intended date format to display. The appropriate parameter should be set to "y" or "yes" e.g.df=yes ormf=y.
The default output of this template is to display the month before the day. This default may not be appropriate for articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date. In such articles the parameter, "df", should be set to display the day before the month.
The parameter "mf", while not actually used by the template, will indicate that month first format is intended. Using these parameters can assistbots or other automated processing to detect which date format is intended; leaving the format as default may lead an editor or bot to change the format to an unintended value.
Do not specify both "df" and "mf" parameters in the same use of the template, as these formats are mutually exclusive.
This template also returns the date, hidden by CSS, in theISO 8601 standard.[1][2] For example:
(<span>1993-02-24</span>)
Note: For the "foundation", "built" and similar set-up dates of companies, buildings etc., use {{start date}} (this will work for year-only or month-year dates). Because the ISO 8601 standard requires theGregorian calendar, this template should not be used if the date is given in theJulian calendar.
Do not use with non-Gregorian dates because the resulting hCard hidden date will be false.
The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank.
When only the year of a person's birth is known, or if it is desired not to state a person's full dates of birth for privacy reasons, consider using the templates {{Birth year}} or {{Birth year and age}} instead.
The date format entered does not change the date format displayed, which is MDY by default or DMY if|df=y (to display the date in the same format it was entered, use{{Birth-date and age}}).
Unnamed parameter for full date (output in MDY format)
{{Birth date and age|1993-2-24}} returns " (1993-02-24)ਫਰਵਰੀ 24, 1993 (ਉਮਰ 32)"
{{Birth date and age|Feb 24, 1993}} returns " (1993-02-24)ਫਰਵਰੀ 24, 1993 (ਉਮਰ 32)"
{{Birth date and age|24 Feb 1993}} returns " (1993-02-24)ਫਰਵਰੀ 24, 1993 (ਉਮਰ 32)"
Unnamed parameter for full date (output in DMY format)
{{Birth date and age|1993-2-24|df=y}} returns " (1993-02-24)24 ਫਰਵਰੀ 1993 (ਉਮਰ 32)"
{{Birth date and age|24 Feb 1993|df=y}} returns " (1993-02-24)24 ਫਰਵਰੀ 1993 (ਉਮਰ 32)"
{{Birth date and age|Feb 24, 1993|df=y}} returns " (1993-02-24)24 ਫਰਵਰੀ 1993 (ਉਮਰ 32)"

Combines functions of {{Birth date}}, {{birth-date}}, {{birth date and age}}, {{birth year and age}}, {{death date}}, {{death-date}}, {{death date and age}}, and {{death year and age}}.
To display approximate birth year and current age given a particular date (e.g. when a dated reference mentions the age of a person), only works for living people.
