Template:DeathyrBC/doc

Usage
This template is for use on category pages for deaths by year BC.

To create such a page, add where D is the year without the last digit, and Y is the last digit of the year.

For example, for deaths in year 697 BC, add

The template will put the category into a parent category for deaths in that decade, e.g. Category:690s BC deaths.

For years in the 7th to 1st centuries BC, it will also put the category into a parent category for events in that year, e.g. Category:697 BC. (Year categories for 8th century and before were merged by consensus at CFD in 2015, but the year categories for births and deaths were recreated following an RFC on biographies.)
