Forum:Date template on actor articles

This is just to bring up the issue of the new date templates that have been doing the rounds lately: Any thoughts?--Acer4666 (talk) 14:31, December 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I really like the date template linking to the on this day articles and year articles, that's a nice touch.
 * However I'm not sure I'm in favour of adding a "(born xth of octember, 1943; age 564)" as the first thing on every actor's page. I know that memory alpha do it, and I think they do it because wikipedia do it, but I'd argue our pages shouldn't. Wikipedia make pages about all aspects of a person's life - therefore naturally the first thing to put on such a page would be when someone was born and how old they are. However our purpose is different - we're a 24 encyclopedia, and our pages are solely about 24-related people, so I think the first thing on a person's page should be how they relate to 24. I feel having that long bracket about their DoB and age distracts from that. The automatic age generation thing is cool, but perhaps it could just be an age field in the sidebar? I just don't feel the info is pertinent enough to be the first thing on every actor/crew members page.
