Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).
Extract a 4-digit decade from the page title, without the trailing "s".
e.g. from "Lorem ipsum dolor 1510s it amet" it will extract "1510"
Note that the trailing letter "s" is stripped, to allow manipulation. In template coding, it can be easily be added after the template call, e.g. Famine in the {{Title decade}}s in Atlantis.
If multiple 4-digit decades are found, this specifies which match to return, where the first match is match= 1. If a negative number is specified then a match is returned counting from the last match. Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting the last match. Defaults to 1.
