Template:BCE/doc

A convenience / consistency template for the display of Before Common Era years that places the abbreviation "BCE" preceded by a non-breaking space ( ) before a year supplied. If the |link= parameter supplied is "y", "yes", or "true", the "BCE" is rendered as a link to the "Common Era" article (to which "Before Common Era" and "BCE" redirect).

Examples

• {{BCE|598}} produces: 598 BCE
• {{BCE|5189|link=y}} produces: 5189 BCE
• {{BCE}} produces: Date parameter missing! (Template:BCE) BCE
