This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template.

Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here. |
This template returns the number of full years, then surplus months, then surplus days between two specified dates. If the second set of parameters is not included, it will return the number of years, months and days between a specified date and today's date. The words "year", "month" and "day" are plural when appropriate.
The years and months are separated by a comma. Since and use varies, this template does not automatically place a comma after the months. If a serial comma is desired, adding |sc=y to the template invocation will include one.
See Wikipedia:Age calculation templates for more information on using this kind of template.
Syntax
[rætta wikitekst]{{Age in years, months and days|year= |month= |day= }}or{{Age in years, months and days|yyyy|mm|dd|yyyy2|mm2|dd2}}
Examples
[rætta wikitekst]{{Age in years, months and days|year=2001|month=1|day=15}}returns "23 ár, 9 mánaðir and 30 dagar"{{Age in years, months and days|2001|01|15|2008|09|05}}returns "7 ár, 7 mánaðir and 21 dagar"{{Age in years, months and days|2016|8|4|2016|9|5}}returns "1 mánaður and 1 dagur"
Notes
[rætta wikitekst]This template can handle an ambiguous start date:
{{Age in years, months and days|year=2010|month=9}}returns "14 ár og 1 or 2 mánaðir"{{Age in years, months and days|2009|6||2011|2|21}}returns "1 ár og 7 or 8 mánaðir"
But it cannot handle an ambiguous end date:
{{Age in years, months and days|2012|11|2|2016|4}}returns "Error: Invalid time. 3 ár, 5 mánaðir and 12 dagar"{{Age in years, months and days|2012|11|2|2017}}returns "Error: Invalid time. 5 ár and 12 dagar"
Since the length of a month varies, the number of days to roll over the number of months varies.
{{Age in years, months and days|2007|3|12|2015|6|11}}returns "8 ár, 2 mánaðir and 30 dagar"{{Age in years, months and days|2007|3|12|2015|7|11}}returns "8 ár, 3 mánaðir and 29 dagar"
To add a serial comma specify |sc=y.
{{Age in years, months and days|year=2001|month=1|day=15|sc=y}}returns "23 ár, 9 mánaðir, and 30 dagar"{{Age in years, months and days|2001|1|15|2008|9|5|sc=y}}returns "7 ár, 7 mánaðir, and 21 dagar"{{Age in years, months and days|2016|10|29|sc=y}}returns "8 ár and 16 dagar"
