Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

When supplied with a 1-, 2-, 3- or 4-digit year or decade, returns the name of the century.

Mostly used in categorisation.

Parameters

  1. The first parameter is required: either a 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-digit year (e.g. 61, 905, 1839) or a 2-, 3-, or 4--digit decade (e.g. 60s, 900s, 1830s)
  2. The second parameter is optional. The single word "dash" changes the output from "nth century" to "nth-century"
  3. An optional "nomatch" parameter may be used to specify text to be return if the input cannot be processed. Default behaviour is return an empty string if there is no match

Usage

  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYYY}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYYY|dash}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYY0s}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYY0s|dash}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYYY|nomatch=FAIL}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYYY|dash|nomatch=FAIL}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYY0s|nomatch=FAIL}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|YYY0s|dash|nomatch=FAIL}}

Examples

Errors

Empty or inappropriate parameters produce no output, unless the "nomatch" paremeter is set.

  • {{Century name from decade or year}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|7}}Template:Ordinal century
  • {{Century name from decade or year|123abc}}
  • {{Century name from decade or year|French flying flamingoes flounce furiously}}

With "nomatch"

  • {{Century name from decade or year|nomatch=FAILED}} → FAILED
  • {{Century name from decade or year|7|nomatch=Aaaaaaaaaargh}}Template:Ordinal century
  • {{Century name from decade or year|123abc|nomatch=garbage input}} → garbage input
  • {{Century name from decade or year|Fastidious French flying flamingoes flounce furiously|nomatch=NOMATCH}} → NOMATCH
