For example, if a reliable source on May 1st, 2010 states Mr X is 29 years old and a different source on August 1st, 2020 states Mr X is 40 years old, then you can establish that Mr X was born no earlier than May 2nd, 1980. Using this template would in both instances suggest a birth year of 1979 or 1980.
Year of birth/death is known. Year of birth/death is approximate. Use the categories by year (e.g., Category:2005 births, Category:2005 deaths). Year of birth is unknown. Use the categories by century, e.g. Category:20th-century births. Use Category:Year of birth missing. Year of death is unknown.
This template displays a person's birth and/or death year, or full birth and/or death date, with or without the person's age. It therefore combines the functionality of the following templates:
Persons can be searched by name, gender, dates and locations of birth and death, description and nationality. The tool also provides a data sheet for every person in the database which includes all metadata (Persondata, categories, authority records) from the article as well as links to corresponding entries in various online databases.
The templates {{Birth year and age}} and {{Death year and age}} return a person's year of birth or death and their approximate age. The templates are useful when only the year, or year and month, of a person's birth and/or death are known, or if it is desired not to state a person's full dates of birth and death for privacy reasons.
