Category talk:Pages using age template with invalid date

Template improvement opportunity

See Template talk:Death date and age for a discussion that someone could use to improve error checking in one or more of these templates. {{Death date and age}}, for example, could be altered to check for the existence of the birth year and emit a friendly error message and a category instead of the current syntax error. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:25, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Influx of pages

Due to this recent change to error checking in {{death year and age}}, it is likely that this category will see an influx of pages over the next few days and weeks. I’ve already fixed a number of these and will keep an eye out for more… —-Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 09:28, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason that you chose 150 years instead of the 130 that is used in the category's explanation? – Jonesey95 (talk) 11:33, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: missed that 130 was in the categories explanation. I copied what I found at {{birth year and age}} which used 150. I’ll go ahead and update both for consistency. —Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:26, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, there are too many age templates. Consolidating has come up periodically on the templates' talk pages, but nobody has been willing to take it on. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:59, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To quote Barney Stinson… CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I’ve already nominated two of them at WP:TFD. Hopefully we can consolidate some. —Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 22:03, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
