[edit] Birthdate and age

Hey! Maybe there's some template talk where I could bring this up, or maybe here's best. In the infobox, next to birthdate, we have her date of birth followed by (age 79). Now, to me, that looks like a vandal 'hilariously' suggesting she was born at age 79, but clearly it's just because someone has used a {{birthdate and age| }} template. I don't know if it would be better to remove the template, leaving just the birthdate, or find some template talk to change the template to give (current age 79). Thoughts?

It wasn't a vandal, it's how they all appear, and it's that she is currently aged 79. I don't think it's a problem. --Majorly (talk) 13:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh well I removed the age bit anyway. --Majorly (talk) 13:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I wasn't saying that it was vandalism, nor that it showed anything other than her current age, but that the way it was presented made it look like vandalism. :-) Skittle 13:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
