--
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 with out the nmaespace prefix
(e.g. for "Portal:1980s" rerurn "1980s"); otherwise return an empty string.
If the parameter is missing, empty, or does not fit the required format,
an empty string is returned"
