Template talk:Time ago

Unnatural "0 days ago" and "0 days' time"
These are very small and short-lived problems, but I did notice the "0 days ago" on Benedict XVI's article today.

I think all these "0 X's ago"s are unnatural, like they seem very robotic or procedural.

So I propose this template simply prints out "today" and "tomorrow". And for completeness, do "this year" for 0 years ago, "this month" for 0 months, etc. And then maybe "right now" for 0 seconds ago. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[ᴛ] 17:22, 31 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Closer to the programmer mindset is the complete omission of output in case of 0. What do the maintainers have to say ? Nxavar (talk) 14:37, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * And even closer to the programmer mindset is leaving it as-in. Having no output would look even weirder. Take the Pope Benedict XVI example, you'd have "Died" and then an empty space in his infobox. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[ᴛ] 13:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps something like "less than a (unit)" (with appropriate adjustment to the article for units starting with a vowel sound). isaacl (talk) 14:12, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Requesting error-tracking category
This template currently generates Error: first parameter cannot be parsed as a date or time. when there is an error, but pages are not tracked in a category so that they can be fixed. Can someone please add or something similar, probably wrapped in Main other, so that these errors can be tracked? The error message is currently visible at Comparison of issue-tracking systems. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:35, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
