Template:Title decade/doc

Extract a 4-digit decade from the page title, without the trailing "s".

Usage
or

Decade from title which contains only a year
Note also that this template will not return the decade from a title which includes only a year. e.g.
 * → 1790

However, the decade can easily be obtained by using DECADE as a wrapper around Title year:. → 1953 and → 1950s ... so → 1950s
