This template is used on 100,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user space. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
The Time ago template calculates the amount of time which has passed since a provided timestamp. The result is a string similar to one of the examples below. This template should not be used with "subst" unless you don't want the stamp to change as the user refreshes the page.
Note that due to Wikipedia's caching mechanisms, you may need to purge a page using this template to update the dynamic value. See the section Purge below.
The result is rounded down. "Month" is defined as 31 days.

Allowed values are:seconds,minutes,hours,days,monthsandyears.agoparameter can be set to override the default usage of the text "ago".
