Editing Template:Time ago/doc (section)

== Usage ==
* <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''Time ago'''|''timestamp''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

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

* <code>magnitude</code> parameter can be set to explicitly use certain unit. Allowed values are: <code>seconds</code>, <code>minutes</code>, <code>hours</code>, <code>days</code>, <code>weeks</code>, <code>months</code> and <code>years</code>.
* <code>min_magnitude</code> parameter can be set to use the specified unit or bigger units. Allowed values are: <code>seconds</code>, <code>minutes</code>, <code>hours</code>, <code>days</code>, <code>months</code> and <code>years</code>.
* <code>ago</code> parameter can be set to override the default usage of the text "<code>ago</code>". If the parameter is blank but not missing (i.e. <code><nowiki>{{time ago|2008|ago=}}</nowiki></code>), then the text "ago" is suppressed altogether. For future dates, setting "ago" as blank but not missing will suppress the text "time" (i.e. "2 years" instead of "2 years' time").

=== Spelling out numbers ===
Numbers from 1 to 100 can be spelled out in their equivalent English word by using the <code>spellout</code> parameter. If <code>spellout</code> is set to "yes", "y", "true" or "1", all numbers from 1 to 100 will be spelled out. If <code>spellout</code> is set to "auto", only numbers from 1 to 9 will be spelled out, as per the recommendations at [[MOS:NUMERAL]].

It is also possible to set a custom maximum value for spelling out by using the <code>spelloutmax</code> parameter. For example, setting {{para|spellout|yes}} and {{para|spelloutmax|24}} will result in all numbers less than or equal to 24 being spelled out, and all numbers greater than 24 appearing as numerals.

=== Numeric output ===
Add {{para|numeric|y}} to print the number only (no text).

=== Purge link ===
Add the parameter {{para|purge|yes}} to add a [[WP:PURGE|purge]] link.
