Template:Days since

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Days since}} shows the years/days (or months/days) since a specific date.

Usage

This template is a facade for {{Time ago}} which invokes that template to specifically return an integer of the amount of days since a given timestamp. {{Time ago}} is a larger template, with many more options, that can be used for more customized output.

There are two ways to use this template:

• With three parameters YYYY-MM-DD: {{Days since|2025|06|13}}
• With one parameter. If this is done, the date MUST be formatted in one of these four ways:
  • 03 Dec 1969
  • 03 December 1969
  • 3 Dec 1969
  • 3 December 1969

Using this template with a single parameter is identical to using {{Time ago|03 Dec 1969|magnitude=days|ago=|numeric=y}}.

{{Days since|1 Jan 2025}} produces: 272

{{Days since|2025|06|13}} produces: 0

{{Days since|31 December 1969}} produces: 20362
