Extract a 4-digit decade from the page title, without the trailing "s".
e.g. from "Lorem ipsum dolor 1510s it amet" it will extract "1510"
Note that the trailing letter "s" is stripped, to allow manipulation. In template coding, it can be easily be added after the template call, e.g. Famine in the {{Title decade}}s in Atlantis
.
Usage
{{Title decade |match |nomatch |page=}}
or
{{Title decade |match=|nomatch=|page=}}
Decade from title which contains only a year
Note also that this template will not return the decade from a title which includes only a year.
e.g.
{{Title decade|page=Horticultural controversies in the 1790s in Xanadu}}
→ 1790
{{Title decade|page=Horticultural controversies in 1797 in Xanadu}}
→
However, the decade can easily be obtained by using {{DECADE }} as as wrapper around {{Title year }}: {{DECADE|{{Title year}}}}
.
{{Title year|page=1953 riots in Narnia}}
→ 1953
and{{DECADE|1953}}
→ عقد 1950
... so{{DECADE|{{Title year|page=1953 riots in Narnia}}}}
→ عقد 1950
