So if one were to code

{{BDDecadesInCentury|17|18th|computer programs}} it would generate a reference box referring to [[category:18th century computer programs]] and would generate links for 1700s computer programs, 1710s etc. through 1790s computer programs.

Optional parameters

• |left=yes – aligns the box to the left, instead of the default right alignment
• |nocent=yes – omits the link to the century category, which by default is the first item in the box
