--[[
   For a given 3- or 4-digit year or decade, find the most specific portal
   which actually exists.
   Takes one parameter, which must be either a year (e.g. "1879", "1123")
   or a decade (e.g. "1940s", "790s").
   If a portal is found, return its name without the namespace prefix
   (e.g. for "Portal:1980s" return "1980s"); otherwise return an empty string.
   If the parameter is missing, empty, or does not fit the required format,
   an empty string is returned"

-- This table of existing decade portals is the first check of whether a portal
-- exists for a given decade.
-- If the decade is listed in this table, then a system call is made to verify its existence
-- This approach has two advantages:
-- 1/ It reduces server load by reducing the number of expensive system calls
-- 2/ It avoids creating backlinks to non-existing portals, because a each .exists check
--    generates a backlink
