Template:BCH

Documentation

Allows for the conversion of BCH (Before Colonial Holocaust) dates to YR dates established in Caprica, and linking these to redirects that point to specific timeline pages.

This template automatically calculates BCH events based on Caprica YR dates. A two digit BCH date will result in YR statements, while anything three digits or higher results will result in BYR dates.

Note that the epoch of the timeline, as established by Caprica's writers, is 0 BCH (2000BYR).

Usage

To use this template, provide the BCH date as the first parameter. You can optionally provide a format parameter to control the output order.

• {{BCH|58}} or {{BCH|58}} will output: 58 BCH (42YR)
• {{BCH|58}} will output: 42YR (58 BCH)
• {{BCH|101}} or {{BCH|101}} will output: 101 BCH (1899BYR)
• {{BCH|101}} will output: 1899BYR (101 BCH)

Examples

One to Two Digit Dates

{{BCH|40}}

Output: 40 BCH (60YR)

{{BCH|40|format=yr_bch}}

Output: 60YR (40 BCH)

Three Digit or Higher Dates

{{BCH|101}}

Output: 101 BCH (1899BYR)

{{BCH|101|format=yr_bch}}

Output: 1899BYR (101 BCH)
