The meaning of that term was defined a long time ago and should not depend on Wikidata or other software. I am no expert on the matter but articles on individual centuries on Wikipedias (I checked English and German ones) list "20th century" as timeperiod between January 1, 1901 and ended on December 31, 2000, and that did not change in last 15 years. It might be counter intuitive and not compatible with some software, but it seems like that is the understanding of the term.
We should not debate the meaning of "century" except to decide if it is compatible with the data model, which must be obeyed. Since many (not everyone, but many respectable sources) interpret the 21st century to begin 1 January 2001 and end 31 December 2100, the word "century" is not compatible with the data model and should not be used anywhere in the user interface.
