Non-breaking space

Test using a non-breaking space between the number and the units (year, month, day, etc). A breaking space is used between the units and "ago" (similar to the output of Template:Start date and years ago).

These examples are placed inside a narrow <div> to force a line break. They are based on the current date and time, which is: 2024-06-05 10:55:46 (UTC). If that is not correct, click Purge to update the page.

Example	Current output	Sandbox output
{{Time ago|-13 months|min_magnitude=years}}	1 year ago	1 year ago
{{Time ago|-32 days|min_magnitude=months}}	1 month ago	1 month ago
{{Time ago|-25 hours|min_magnitude=days}}	1 day ago	1 day ago
{{Time ago|-65 minutes|min_magnitude=hours}}	1 hour ago	1 hour ago
{{Time ago|-75 seconds|min_magnitude=minutes}}	1 minute ago	1 minute ago
{{Time ago|-15 seconds|min_magnitude=seconds}}	15 seconds ago	15 seconds ago
