== Usage ==
This template is for use on category pages for births by decade BC.

To create such a page, add
<pre>{{birthdecadeBC|C|D|Ccc}}</pre>
where C is the century digit(s) within the year number, Y is the next digit in the year number (that specifies the decade), and Ccc is the name of the century.

For example, for births in the 690s BC, add
<pre>{{birthdecadeBC|6|9|7th}}</pre>

The template will put the category into a parent category for births in that decade, e.g. [[:Category:7th-century BC births]].

For years in the 12th to 1st centuries BC, it will also put the category into a parent category for events in that decade, e.g. [[:Category:690s BC]].
(Year categories for 13th century BC and earlier were merged by consensus at [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2015_April_24#13th_century_BC|CFD in 2015]], but the year and decade categories for births and deaths were recreated following an [[Wikipedia_talk:Categorization_of_people#RfC:_BC_births_and_births_categorization_scheme|RFC on biographies]]. Year categories for 12th–9th centuries BC were merged at [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017 August 18|CFD in 2017]].)

== Examples ==
