Usage
This template calculates the birth year and current age based on the age as of a date. This is useful when a reference states only their age at the time of the reference's publication.
Syntax
{{Birth based on age as of date|age|year|month|day}}
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"; see Help:Magic words#Variables for more details). The Gregorian calendar is assumed, with no special support provided for dual dating or the difference between Old Style and New Style dates .
Examples
For example, if a reference dated July 4, 2008 mentions that someone is 50 years old, that person's birth year and age can be rendered using{{Birth based on age as of date|50|2008|July|4}}
