Extracts a century number from a page title.
It recognises two formats:
- With a separating dash: XXth-century, e.g. "14th-century electric toasters" or "2nd-century hang-gliders"
- With a separating space: XXth century, e.g. "21st century in Doohoma" or "Aviation disasters in the 3rd century"
Note that unlike {{Title year}} and {{Title decade}}, it always takes the first century number in the title.

If you want to recreate the "xxth century" in the title (after 0 AD) then you can use this template to create a year to feed into {{Century name from decade or year}} :
{{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:20th-century hoaxes}}00}}→ 20th century{{Century name from decade or year|{{Title century|page=Category:21st-century hoaxes}}00|dash}}→ 21st-century
