සැකිල්ල:Title year range/doc

Extracts a year range from a page title.

Explanation

A "year range" is a four-digit number followed by an endash with no spaces, and then two or four digits: YYYY–YY or YYYY–YYYY.

Note that separator must be an endash: –

The template will not recognise other separators, such as

• hyphen: -
• emdash: —

Examples of valid year ranges

• 1651–1652 Y
• 1427–1509 Y
• 1706–1707 Y
• 1706–07 Y
• 1924–29 Y
• 1806–2014 Y

Examples of invalid year ranges

• 1725-34 N (not an endash)
• 1966—67 N (not an endash)
• 601–08 N (leading year is only 3 digits)
• 45025–34 N (five digits in leading year, will be read as 5025–34)
