Template:Century BC/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage

[edit]

Provides a tooltip including the date range for centuries BC. For example:

Antisthenes was born in the 5th century BC.

Works with five different formats:

  • {{century BC|24}}

24th

  • {{century BC|24th}}

24th century BC

  • {{century BC|24th-}}

24th-century BC

  • {{century BC|twenty-fourth}}

twenty-fourth century BC

  • {{century BC|Twenty-fourth}}

Twenty-fourth century BC

This will go back as far as the 40th century BC, beyond which it will stop working. It could trivially be expanded.
