I think Help:Dates#Precision (permalink) is actually incorrect in this case. There is no year 0 – the first century starts with the year 1 and ends with the year 100, the second century starts with the year 101 and ends with the year 200, and so on. Therefore, the year 1800 still lies within the 18th century (which spans from 1701 until 1800 – not 1700 until 1799!), and Wikidata is completely correct in displaying this as “18. century”.
Furthermore, “1800s” already has a different meaning: it refers to the decade from 1800 to 1809 (or perhaps 1801 to 1810? I’m not sure), just like “1810s”, “1820s”, “1980s” etc.
