Template:Title Century

Extracts a century number from a page title.

It recognises two formats:

  1. With a separating dash: XXth-century, e.g. "14th-century electric toasters" or "2nd-century hang-gliders"
  2. With a separating space: XXth century, e.g. "21st century in Doohoma" or "Aviation disasters in the 3rd century"

Note that unlike {{Title year}} and {{Title decade}}, it always takes the first century number in the title.

Usage

{{Title century}}

or

{{Title century|match=|nomatch=|page=}}

Examples

  • {{Title century|page=Category:17th-century hoaxes}} → 17
  • {{Title century|page=Category:21st century in Ballyporeen}} → 21
  • {{Title century|page=18 century in }} → 21
  • {{Title century|page=13th-century time-travellers to the 20th century}} → 13
  • {{Title century|page=1701–1799 quidditch season}}
  • {{Title century|nomatch=NOTFOUND|page=1701–1799 quidditch season}} → NOTFOUND
  • {{Title century|page=100 worst internet memes during the reign of Tutankhamen}}
  • {{Title century|page=List of antidisestablishmentarian riots in Xanadu by century}}
  • {{Title century|nomatch=NONSENSE|page=List of antidisestablishmentarian riots in Xanadu by century}} → NONSENSE

If you want to recreate the "xxth century" in the title (after 0 AD) then you can use this template to create a year to feed into {{Century name from decade or year}} :

  • {{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:20th-century hoaxes}}00}} → 20th century
  • {{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:21st-century hoaxes}}00|dash}} → 21st-century
