Tɛmplet:Year category name

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A helper template which returns the bare name of the category on a given calendar year.

This is needed because the articles on years take three different formats ("YYY" indicates a number, e.g. "6", "29", "754", "938")

  • All BC years: YYY BC
  • AD years 1 to 10: AD YYY
  • AD years after 10: YYY

This template allows accurate links to be generated.

{{Year category name|YYYY}}

The parameter may be:

  • A bare number for AD years, e.g. 123 or 1937
  • A negative number for BC years, e.g. -45 or -1307
  • A number preceded or followed by "AD", with or without a space, e.g. AD 17 or 1066AD
  • A number preceded or followed by "BC", with or without a space, e.g. BC5 or 783 BC

Any other input will be ignored. There are no error messages.
