I see we have an "age" template, to display the years which have passed since a certain date, but do we have any kind of template which shows months, weeks, and days?--[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 13:43, 9 March 2016 (EST)

I don't think so.  Many of these articles have not been edited since 2009.  There is a danger if you construct a sentence in terms of time passed, it will become badly out-of-date.  It is better to say, "As of August 2009, X was Y."  or "In September 2010, Z happened." Do not say, "Four years ago, A happened." [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 13:49, 9 March 2016 (EST)
