Template talk:Death year and age

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I altered the template to be more in line with Template:Death date and age but using a ≈ to show approximation.

Could someone modify the template so that it can take a full death date, and also work for metadata purposes (as Template:Death date and age already does)

This would probably require changing the order from |<deathyear>|<birthyear>}} to |<birthyear>|<deathyear>|<deathmonth>|<deathday>}} so that the last two would become optional. I could swap the order but am not up to speed on the IF statements.

If this is done I would be happy to change the existing uses of the template. —MJBurrage^(T•C) 18:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

As I think on this, It might be better to make the birth month and day optional on Template:Death date and age (adding the ≈ when they are absent). —MJBurrage^(T•C) 18:56, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year link optional?

Can the single year linking (against current MOS style) be turned off? How about an optional parameter, like wiki=off? — Bellhalla (talk) 16:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
