==Usage==
The templates '''{{tl|Birth date}}''' and '''{{tl|Birth date and age}}''' return a person's date of birth and optionally his/her age. The latter also has the shortcut '''{{tl|Bda}}'''.

Using this template rather than simply inserting the date into articles allows for the inclusion of hidden metadata about the date. This metadata can be used by web browsers and other software tools to extract the details, and display them using some other website or mapping tool, index or search them.

Syntax:

:<nowiki>{{Birth date|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}</nowiki>

or

:<nowiki>{{Birth date and age|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{Bda|year of birth|month of birth|day of birth}}</nowiki>

Examples:

:<nowiki>{{Birth date|1984|2|4}}</nowiki> returns "{{Birth date|1984|2|4|nocategory=1}}"
:<nowiki>{{Birth date|1984|2|04}}</nowiki> returns "{{Birth date|1984|2|04|nocategory=1}}"
:<nowiki>{{Birth date|1984|2|24}}</nowiki> returns "{{Birth date|1984|2|24|nocategory=1}}"

:<nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1984|2|4}}</nowiki> returns {{Birth date and age|1984|2|4}}
:<nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1984|2|04}}</nowiki> returns {{Birth date and age|1984|2|04}}
:<nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1984|2|24}}</nowiki> returns {{Birth date and age|1984|2|24}}

===Day First (df) Option===

The default output of this template is to display the month before the day. The majority of readers will see the date displayed this way because aren't logged in and therefore don't have accounts with a date preference set. This default may not be appropriate articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date. In such articles the optional parameter, "df", can be set (to "y" or "yes" for example) to display the day before the month.

Examples:

:<nowiki>{{Birth date | 1984 | 2 | 24 | df=yes }}</nowiki> displays "24 February [[1984]]" to readers without a date preference.

:<nowiki>{{Birth date and age | 1984 | 2 | 24 | df=yes }}</nowiki> displays "24 February [[1984]] (age {{Age|1984|2|24}})" to readers without a date preference.

===hCard microformat===

The templates also return the date, hidden by CSS, in the ISO 8601 format needed by hCard microformats. for example:

:<nowiki><span class="bday">1984-02-24</span></nowiki>

===Notes===

'''Note:''' The template automatically adds a Category to the page it is used on! {{tl|Birth date}} adds "xxxx births" and {{tl|Death date}} adds "xxxx deaths". If you do not want a category to be added, set the optional '''nocategory''' parameter (nocategory=1, for example).

'''Note:''' The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank.
