template name Decade is used on Commons for something else, i.e. generating an 
horizontal navigation bar of decades in the same century)//.

(look at their navbox templates and calendars), and also for naming their pages 
and categories (roman digits are just using plain ASCII letters, and there's no 
superscript for these titles, but these same pages may fix this presentation 
using `{{TITLEPAGE:...}}` by adding formatting elements and custom styles and 
eventually change the initial lettercase if capitalization is undesired, e.g. 
for "iOS").

discussed above (which is oversimplifying the problem with many false 
assumptions) !
