Template:Duration/doc

Usage
Place Duration on the page.

Note that 01 in the Month parameter is not allowed, but 01 in the Day parameter is allowed.

If you want to add a year, simply add Duration

If you want to hide the "days" behind this, you can place an extra  before the rest of the parameters: Duration. It has to be the first parameter, otherwise it won't work.

Examples
An example for 3/14 of this year (Month=3, Day=14) is:

3/14/ is currently days ago.

An example for 3/14 of 2009 (Month=3, Day=14, Year=2012) is:

3/14/2009 is currently days ago.

Other short way
You could also place Duration on the page to show. You should mind, however, that it must be in the order of (d)d-(m)m(-yyyy) to let it work. If no year is filled in, the current year is taken. For example, you could fill in 02-01-2000 or 2-1-2000, and you could also just add 2-1 to see the amount of days since 2 January this year. Also, just 2 1 2000 won't work.
