{{documentation header}}


This template displays the number of years (or months if less than 1 year) between a specified year/month date and the current year/month. It will also work correctly when only the year is given. Optionally, a second year/month date can be specified to be used instead of the current year/month.

== Usage ==
For years or months before or after current date:
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Years or months ago|''year''|''month''}}</code>
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Years or months ago|''year''}}</code>

For years or months between two dates:
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Years or months ago|''year1''|''month1''|''year2''|''month2''}}</code>

== Examples ==
The following examples use {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} as the current month and year. If that is not correct, click the Purge link at the top of this documentation (or <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=purge}} here]</span>) to update the page.
