Template:Age switch

-1

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

Usage

This template is intended to be used by other templates. It returns a "0" if the "age," with respect to "d," has not been reached or a "1" if it has. Returns "-1" if "d" is not a valid date.

It is useful for countdown timers.

Parameters

• |d= is the date the clock "starts" at
• |age= is the age at which the result will change from 0 to 1. (optional, default is 1 week)

Limitations

• The "switch" from 0 to 1 happens only when the page this template is used on is updated or purged. If a page includes a template which calls this template, it is the page the reader sees, not the template which calls this template, which must be purged or updated.
