Template:Decade link/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A helper template which returns the name of the article on a given decade.

This is needed because the articles on decades whose name ends in 00s are disambiguated. So if a template needs to link to an article on decade, [[YYY0s]] will link to a disambiguation page for some decades.

This template allows accurate links to be generated by writing [[{{Decade link|YYY0}}]]. The link is piped if needed.


Usage

[edit]
{{Decade link|YYY0}}

Often used in combination with template {{Title decade}}:

{{Decade link|{{Title decade}}}}

Examples

[edit]
  1. [[{{Decade link|1720}}]]1720s
  2. [[{{Decade link|1850}}]]1850s
  3. [[{{Decade link|1600}}]]1600s
  4. [[{{Decade link|2000}}]]2000s

Note that the trailing letter "s" must be omitted:

  • [[{{Decade link|1690s}}]] → [[Expression error: Unrecognized word "s".1690ss]]
  • [[{{Decade link|1690}}]]1690s
