- Thanks so much! I'm reading them now, unless of course I crash my browser from having too many tabs open. So...I have a question: in the infobox Person tags [[1]] can you only do
{{birth year}}
as opposed to{{birth year and age}}
? I have a birth year and a death date but am having problems tracking down records with the birthday. Birth year and age doesn't seem to make much sense when they are dead and I'm failing with{{birth year and age2}}
only using the years. sigh, n00b. Thank you in advance for whatever help you can give. Geekery (talk) 20:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)- This page is a good references and has some nice examples. Template:Birth date and age. --CutOffTies (talk) 21:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
