A helper template which returns the name of the article on a given decade.
This is needed because the articles on decades whose name ends in 00s are disambiguated. So if a template needs to link to an article on decade, [[YYY0s]] will link to a disambiguation page for some decades.
This template allows accurate links to be generated by writing [[{{Decade link|YYY0}}]]. The link is piped if needed.
Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]{{Decade link|YYY0}}
Often used in combination with template {{Title decade}}:
{{Decade link|{{Title decade}}}}
