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.
Some of these templates can be complex, and will greatly add to the loading time of a page if used many times. For example, in an article like list of Prime Ministers of Canada by time in office , the template is only used for the incumbent prime minister, and fixed numbers are used for all past prime ministers.

You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. For a person whose date of birth is unknown, this template estimates the person's birth year and current age based on a given age at a certain date.
Empty or non-existent sections are not transcluded. Year numbers are prepended to the transcluded contents with bold pseudo-headers, in order to avoid overloading the transcluding page's table of contents. Negative years use the BC suffix, years 1–100 use the AD prefix, and years above 100 use the plain year number.
