Usage
{{tlx|Start and end dates and age|YYYY|MM|DD|YYYY|MM|DD|agein|formatting}
Examples
Standard: {{Start and end dates and age|1939|9|1|1945|9|2}} → September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945 (1939-09-01 – 1945-09-02) (6 years and 1 day)
Day first: {{Start and end dates and age|1939|9|1|1945|9|2|df=yes}} → 1 September 1939 – 2 September 1945 (1939-09-01 – 1945-09-02) (6 years and 1 day)
Same year: {{Start and end dates and age|1939|9|1|1939|10|2}} → September 1 – October 2, 1939 (1939-09-01 – 1939-10-02) (1 month and 1 day)
Same month and year: {{Start and end dates and age|1939|9|1|1939|9|2}} → September 1–2, 1939 (1939-09-01 – 1939-09-02) (1 day)
Present range: {{Start and end dates and age|1939|9|1|present}} → September 1, 1939 – present (1939-09-01 – present) (Error: Second date should be year, month, day)
To display approximate birth year and current age given a particular date (e.g. when a dated reference mentions the age of a person), only works for living people.
