Usage
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month1 = |day1 = |year1 = |month2 = |day2 = | year2 = }}
Note that all parameters default to the current date, so for example, the second set of parameters can be left out to calculate elapsed time since a past date:
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month1 = 1 |day1 = 1 |year1 = 1 }}→ 2023 years, 10 months, 1 week and 4 days
Or simply, using the simpler parameter names, compatible with {{Age in years, months and days}}:
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month = 1 |day = 1 |year = 1 }}→ 2023 years, 10 months, 1 week and 4 days
Alternatively, the first set of parameters can be left out to get the time left until a future date, such as the next Wikipedia Day:
{{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month2 = 1 |day2 = 15 |year2 = 2025 }}→ 2 months and 3 days
