Can someone fix this template for the 20th century. It should fall in the 2nd millennium. Same for 10th century. Thanks.-- 211.31.67.209 06:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Is there space in this box to have "nth century in" - I've just been working on 1st, 2nd and 3rd century in Roman Britain articles and there's not much that links to them at the moment. -- role player 21:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
The new version is based on totally new (hopfully more transparent) subtemplates, although the resulting appearance should be almost unchanged. We now have: the 00s decades correctly linked (following the recent moves); no linking of decades when they just redirect back to the century; and no categories on future centuries. It does, however, require a parameter (e.g. 5 for the 5th century AD, -5 for the 5th century BC).-- Kotniski ( talk) 13:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't the century box have a v d e link like almost every other template? -- BozMo talk 20:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
After various mass renames at WP:CFD, the format for categories is now Category:2nd-century births rather than Category:2nd century births (and the same for deaths etc). Can someone add some "-"s into the template? Bencherlite Talk 11:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
The MOS provides,
This template aids and abets violations of these rules, and propagates them throughout Wikipedia.
I don't understand the functioning of templates, so I'm scared to revise this one myself, but it should definitely be revised to use words in place of figures, at least for the first through the ninth centuries and millennia. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 21:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
