{{age in days|date1}} |
(number of days since date 1) or |

By adding |sortable=on
a sort key will be added to the output for use in sortable tables.
Three styles of formatting are possible.
|format=raw |
gives unformatted numbers with hyphens as minus signs[1] (for use in further calculations). |
|format=commas |
gives numbers formatted with commas and true minus signs. |
For reasons of retrospective compatibility, the default when inputting dates as year, month and day is |format=raw
; however when inputting dates in full it is |format=commas
.
The default is not to show units. To show the unit ("day", days" or "d") use |show unit=
.
|show unit=abbr |
adds "d" after the number of days. |
|show unit=full |
adds "day" or "days" after the number of days as appropriate. |
