Error checking

This template should be capable of operating without parameters, by deriving them from the page title. Tracking categories have been set up to test whether there are any valid exceptions:

Valid use are tracked at:

Script error: No such module "Purge".

Valid exceptions include cases where the centre decade is intentionally different from the title decade, in order to link both backwards and forwards where there are currently long gaps between decade categories.
