Revision as of 04:56, March 10, 2016
, 04:56, March 10, 2016→Time passed template?: solution
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 There is a danger if you construct a sentence in terms of time passed, it will become badly out-of-date.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."

I know, but although I hate to keep comparing CP to WP, WP does it in a helpful way. They say "In September 2010 (X ago) Y was Z." That way, the actual date is prominent but the user doesn't need to count off the days/months/years if they want to know exactly how long ago. It''s not hard, but it's one of those convenient things WP has that we do not. --[[User:DavidB4|David B]] ([[User talk:DavidB4|talk]]) 14:08, 9 March 2016 (EST)

You can use {{tl|age}} on CP: <nowiki> On September 11, 2001 ({{age|2011|9|11}} years ago) the twin towers fell.</nowiki> gives: On September 11, 2001 ({{age|2011|9|11}} years ago) the twin towers fell. [[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 23:56, 9 March 2016 (EST)
