Template:Time ago/doc

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.

Usage


The timestamp can be almost any solid, readable format but to avoid ambiguity mistakes, one of the styles below is preferred.
