A must have for all history enthusiasts!

Wikidates goes through all links in any English or Italian Wikipedia page, finds all people and adds birth and death dates and (optionally) current age or age of death to them, gathering them from Wikidata.

The number of links processed is displayed on the icon.

* fixed a bug which caused a one-year error in ages for birth dates with year precision in years ending with 0;
* added spaces around dashes.

v. 1.5.4:
* fixed a bug introduced in 1.5.3 which caused dates with century precision to display incorrectly;
