Documentation for Days ago

This template makes use of ParserFunctions in the MediaWiki software to calculate the amount of days past since a specified date. Its main usage is on the {{Latest updates}} template that appears on the Main Page. As the code of this template can be quite complex, {{Days ago/core}} is used to hold the mathematical expressions and {{Days ago}} handles language translations.

Usage

  • {{Days ago|9|2}} (Month is 9, date is 2) generates Lua error in Module:Age at line 96: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'day' (a nil value). days ago
  • {{Days ago|9|2|brackets=0}} generates Lua error in Module:Age at line 96: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'day' (a nil value). days ago

Limitations

Currently {{days ago}} cannot handle days spanning multiple months. For example, if the given date is August 29 and the current date is September 2, the template will produce a null output.
