This template uses
Lua :
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
{{

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
