[edit] Notes

  • This template uses the #expr parser function to calculate centuries, decades, and year numbers surrounding the year parameter.
  • Negative numbers are passed through, not as "BC" but negative.
  • Variables are not used, as they were not a supported feature when this template was created, so calculations are made twice, as needed, to determine results.
