Template:Nth century
(Redirected from Template:S-)
{{{1}}}st century
 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Nth century}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot. |
| This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Converts a roman numeral to an ordinal century, so 'XIX' ⟶ '19th century'. It also accepts Arabic numbers, within reason, and will output invalid input unchanged without error messages. Caveat editor.
Usage
[edit]{{Nth century|XIX}}
{{Nth century|XV|short=yes}}
Parameters
[edit]|1= – a roman numeral between I and XXV
|short= – if present, emits 'c.' instead of the word 'century'. Alias: 'abbr'.
Examples
[edit]{{Nth century|XIX}}→ 19th century{{Nth century|XV|short=yes}}→ 15th c.{{Nth century|18}}→ 18th century{{Nth century|21}}→ 21st century{{Nth century|invalid}}→ invalidth century
Technical
[edit]A planned expansion will permit roman numeral ranges with hyphens in param 1 , e.g., XV-XVII.
