Usage
'''


 * Examples

  – for Category:20th-century establishments in the United States

  – for Category:1st-century establishments in China

  – for Category:5th-century establishments in the Byzantine Empire

The 5th parameter is optional. If it is omitted, the millennium category will not be populated; e.g.   will not put the century category into a parent Category:2nd-millennium establishments in Aragon. Consensus at WP:CFD discussions points to not having millennium categories for territories that only existed during one millennium.

Table of decades and years
A table of decades and years will be produced if the century is 11th or later. This can be suppressed by appending the parameter

Note that categories for decades and years by country before the 11th century are generally deprecated following a series of CFD discussions in 2017, e.g. Categories for discussion/Log/2017 October 3.

However, decade categories were not merged for the Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire. To display a list of decade categories (but not years), append the parameter

Change of country name
The optional 8th parameter sort key can also be used to override the country name in the parent categories, "Establishments in 'X' by century" and "Nth-millennium establishments in 'X'".

This is useful where a country has changed its name, and the only parent categories by century & millennium use the new name..

this is a new feature. Please leave a note at Template talk:EstcatCountry if you use this parameter, in case it changes.

 
 * Example

The parent categories will be Category:Establishments in Myanmar by century and Category:2nd-millennium establishments in Myanmar.
