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
[change source]{{Decade link|YYY0s}}
Examples
[change source][[{{Decade link|1720}}]]
→ 1720s[[{{Decade link|1850}}]]
→ 1850s[[{{Decade link|1600}}]]
→ 1600s[[{{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
