Extracts a 4-digit decade from the current page title, and returns the name of the century in which that decade was.

Usage

  • {{Century name from title decade}}

Mostly used in categorisation.

Parameters

All parameters are optional

  1. The single word "dash" changes the output from "nth century" to "nth-century"
  2. A "nomatch" parameter may be used to specify text to be return if the input cannot be processed. The default behaviour is to return an empty string if there is no match

Examples

Implementation

This template is implemented by using {{Century name from decade or year}} around {{Title decade}}.

The same effect can be achieved by using {{Century name from decade or year|{{Title decade}}s}} ... but this wrapper makes more easily-read markup
