This template uses Lua :
This template returns the number of months, weeks and days that have elapsed between two dates.
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month1 = |day1 = |year1 = |month2 = |day2 = | year2 = }}
Note that all parameters default to the current date, so for example, the second set of parameters can be left out to calculate elapsed time since a past date:
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month1 = 1 |day1 = 1 |year1 = 1 }}
→ 2023 years, 4 months, 2 weeks and 5 days
Or simply, using the simpler parameter names, compatible with {{ Age in years, months and days }} :
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month = 1 |day = 1 |year = 1 }}
→ 2023 years, 4 months, 2 weeks and 5 days
Alternatively, the first set of parameters can be left out to get the time left until a future date, such as the next Wikipedia Day :
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month2 = 1 |day2 = 15 |year2 = 2025 }}
→ 7 months, 3 weeks and 5 days
