Age is difficult to maintain

I examined all of the "By citizenship" lists of people by net worth and found that exactly 9 out of 56 country lists include age in the list of individuals: Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Monaco, Pakistan, Philippines, Ukraine. In each of these pages, the age is hard-coded, i.e. not generated by a formula based on date of birth and current date. That means that every day that any of the listed individuals has a birthday, one of these articles has to be updated. How well are we doing?

Let's try Pakistan. List of Pakistanis by net worth lists 15 individuals, 10 with ages. Of those, we find:

Rank	Name	Age listed	Age actual
1	Shahid Khan	64	65
2	Asif Ali Zardari	57	60
3	Anwar Pervez	77	80–81
4	Nawaz Sharif	64	66
5	Saddaruddin Hashwani	71	76

I stopped reviewing after finding that none of the listed 5 richest Pakistanis are listed with the correct age; errors range from 1 to 5 years.

This is no way to manage an encyclopedia. Let's remove the age from the tables of these nine pages. —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:04, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

• It's not all that difficult. Just change the age to a formula based on DOB -- age|1950|7|18|mf=y -- for DOB of July 18, 1950 GCG (talk) 15:25, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
