Usage

This template is for use on category pages for births by decade BC.

To create such a page, add

{{birthdecadeBC|C|D|Ccc}}

where C is the century digit(s) within the year number, Y is the next digit in the year number (that specifies the decade), and Ccc is the name of the century.

For example, for births in the 690s BC, add

{{birthdecadeBC|6|9|7th}}

The template will put the category into a parent category for births in that decade, e.g. Category:7th-century BC births.

For years in the 12th to 1st centuries BC, it will also put the category into a parent category for events in that decade, e.g. Category:690s BC. (Year categories for 13th century and before were merged by consensus at CFD in 2015, but the year and decade categories for births and deaths were recreated following an RFC on biographies.)
