I disagree with Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE. Help:Dates#Precision is correct. It agrees with[[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Format | the RDF Dump Format ]] documentation and the the JSON documentation.
As for the idea that "1800s" means the decade from 1800 to 1809, the Chicago Manual of Style 16th ed. page 476 states
Note that the first decade of any century cannot be treated in the same way as any other decades. "The 1900s," for example, could easily be taken to refer to the whole of the twentieth century.
