This template calculates a person's current age based on a known age as of specified date. This is useful when a reference states a person's age at the time of the reference's publication.
The age, year, and day must be supplied as natural numbers; month can be specified as a natural number as well as by name or abbreviation (e.g., "August" or "Aug"). The Gregorian calendar is assumed, with no special support provided for dual dating or the difference between Old Style and New Style dates .
If a reference dated July 4, 2022, mentions that someone is 50 years old, that person's current age can be rendered using:
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.
