| | :::As for the hyphen between he number and century, I do often see it printed this way, but can't coded that rule myself. It was actually a part of a friend's rule set. Since I'd seen it that way before, I made the common mistake of assuming. I did a little research, but am having a hard time finding out which way is correct. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Centuries%20and%20millennia WP says it should have a hyphen], but, well, it is WP after all. If you're sure that is incorrect, I can probably run a full correction job soon, to undo that everywhere. It might take some time to complete, since I would need to supervise it, but that's certainly an option. --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 08:35, 23 August 2016 (EDT) | | :::As for the hyphen between he number and century, I do often see it printed this way, but can't coded that rule myself.
