As you can see the direct link to the template works great, however I see that you are doing several substitutions of this with the redirect b-da. There is no need to do this because between redirects and direct links it is better to use the direct link. --Kasper2006 (talk) 05:51, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

b-da is the redirect for birth-date and age bda is the redirect for birth date and age please note the subtle difference: the df parameter has no effect on the first of these, only on the second

No problem, you must use Template:Birth date and age (and not bda) or Template:Birth-date and age (and not b-da) --Kasper2006 (talk) 09:40, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kasper2006 is correct, there is indeed no problem. The redirects bda and b-da are widely and sensibly used, with no loss of clarity. As Kasper2006 has unwittingly illustrated, there is more confusion between Template:Birth date and age and Template:Birth-date and age than there is between them and their respective redirects. Kasper2006 need not be so petty as to demand that editors refrain from using redirects, especially when he/she has 'improved' so many articles by including infobox dates which, because of deficient formatting, do not conform with the rest of the article.

Still. I don't see why you have to remove the alignments and remove the carry-over of the individual lines when this is recommended in the infobox manual. --Kasper2006 (talk) 07:29, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alignment[edit]

The changes in alignment are not a deliberate act: they appear to be an effect of using the visual editor. Perhaps there is a conflict here between what the visual editor does automatically and what editors are recommended themselves to do.
