{{Lua|Module:String}}

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 {{tl|Title year}} and {{tl|Title decade}}, it ''always'' takes the first century number in the title.

== Usage ==
{{tlx|Title century|nomatch=|page=}}

or 

{{tlx|Title century|<nowiki>match=|nomatch=|page=</nowiki>}}

== Examples ==
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=Category:17th-century hoaxes}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=Category:17th-century hoaxes}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=Category:21st century in Ballyporeen}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=Category:21st century in Ballyporeen}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=18 century in }}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=Category:21st century in Ballyporeen}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=13th-century time-travellers to the 20th century}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=13th-century time-travellers to the 20th century}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=1701–1799 quidditch season}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=1701–1799 quidditch season}}

* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=100 worst internet memes during the reign of Tutankhamen}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=100 worst internet memes during the reign of Tutankhamen}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|page=List of antidisestablishmentarian riots in Xanadu by century}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|page=List of antidisestablishmentarian riots in Xanadu by century}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Title century|nomatch=NONSENSE|page=List of antidisestablishmentarian riots in Xanadu by century}}</nowiki></code> → {{Title century|nomatch=NONSENSE|page=List of antidisestablishmentarian riots in Xanadu by century}}

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 {{tl|Century name from decade or year}} :
* <code><nowiki>{{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:20th-century hoaxes}}00}}</nowiki></code> → {{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:20th-century hoaxes}}00}}
* <code><nowiki>{{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:21st-century hoaxes}}00|dash}}</nowiki></code> → {{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:21st-century hoaxes}}00|dash}}
