Extracts a century number from a page title.
It recognises two formats:
- With a separating dash: XXth-century, e.g. "14th-century electric toasters" or "2nd-century hang-gliders"
- 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
