Template:Days since
15 years, 31 days
{{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|2026|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 2026}} produces:
{Days since}: Expected 3 numbers: year|month|day, but found: 1 Jan 2026
Expression error: Unexpected < operator.
{{Days since|2026|06|13}} produces: −74 days ago
{{Days since|31 December 1969}} produces:
{Days since}: Expected 3 numbers: year|month|day, but found: 31 December 1969
Expression error: Unexpected < operator.
