==About==
{{tl|Category series navigation}} is intended to be a minimal-input, near-universal template for automatically navigating ''most'' numerically adjacent categories.

===Searching behavior===
Most multi-year seasons/office terms/numerical ranges are acceptable, as long as the season duration/term length/range size is <= {{Category series navigation|show=term-limit}}, ''and'' the gap between seasons is <= {{Category series navigation|show=hgap-limit}}. For series exceeding either of these criteria, see/use {{tl|Irregular chronology category navigation}}.

The length of each season is automatically determined from the originating category name, up to and including {{Category series navigation|show=term-limit}} years. [[MOS:DATERANGE]] compliance is preferred, but some deviation is allowed and [[:Category:Category series navigation range abbreviated (MOS)|tracked]] for regular series with seasons > 1 year long. {{tl|Category redirect}}s are followed, and tracked for either [[:Category:Category series navigation range redirected (MOS)|MOS contravention]] (to be corrected) or for [[:Category:Category series navigation range redirected (base change)|navigational aid]] (no error). The gap size between successive seasons is ''also'' automatically determined, up to and including {{Category series navigation|show=hgap-limit}} years, and defaults to 0 (e.g. {{nowrap|1995–96}} → {{nowrap|1996–97}}).

Automatically condensed years are supported for ''presidential'' categories only (but can be easily expanded as needed), for gaps up to and including {{Category series navigation|show=ygap-limit}} years, and defaults to 1. To skip gaps of up to {{Category series navigation|show=skip-gaps}} years in any ''year'' categories, use {{para|skip-gaps|yes}}.

===Limitations===
====Numerical limitations and AD/BC/E====
* Season/office term categories do not work for ''any'' years BC, which will be hidden, because no working examples were found.
* Decade categories recognize BC, but not BCE, because no working examples were found.
* Ordinal & numeral words do not work above the ninety-ninth & ninety-nine, because no working examples were found.

====Condensation====
* Automatically condensed ''Olympics'' display is not supported due to peculiarities; use {{tl|Winter Olympics by year category navigation}}, etc., instead.
* Automatically condensed ''years'' ''are'' supported for ''presidential'' categories only, due to their consistency; use {{para|skip-gaps|yes}} as desired elsewhere.

====Work-arounds====
* '''Base-name changes:''' create at least 2 logically numbered {{tl|R from category navigation}} (1 [[Special:Permalink/1040103249|backward]] & 1 [[Special:Permalink/1040102736|forward]]), to join both related series.
* '''Unaccounted-for name+number conventions:''' where a fixed number is part of the prefix or suffix text, e.g. ''{{c|Companies that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020|Chapter 11 bankruptcies}}'', a non-breaking space may force the template to work. See [[Special:Diff/948223374|this fix]], where {{tl|title year}} skipped over ''11'' as part of a word rather than a discrete number. (This case has been accounted for and is no longer required in this example.)
* '''General:''' for large, permanent gaps<sup>†</sup> between successive categories, use {{tl|Succeeding category}}, {{tl|Preceding category}}, {{tl|Category pair}}, as needed, in addition to {{tl|Category series navigation}} on both sides, or in the middle, of the gap. Even if {{tl|Category series navigation}} is [[:Category:Category series navigation isolated|isolated]], it has the benefit of confirming the absence of nearby categories to the reader or maintainer.<br/><sup>†</sup>''Permanent gaps'', where there is a confirmed  permanent absence of data, and not just a temporary, yet to be filled, gap on Wikipedia.

==Usage==
;Typical usage
* {{tlx|Category series navigation}}

;Specify a minimum and/or maximum year to display
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|min{{=}}-100}}
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|min{{=}}100 BC}}
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|min{{=}}1753|max{{=}}1810}}
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|max{{=}}{{NEXTYEAR}}}}

;To skip gaps in year categories
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|skip-gaps{{=}}yes}}

;To ''not'' automatically follow {{tl|Category redirect}}s
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|follow-redirects{{=}}no}}

;Exceptional cases
* {{tlx|Category series navigation|cat{{=}}2010s albums}} &mdash; to behave as if placed on {{para|cat}}; consider using {{tl|Category pair}} instead of {{para|cat}}

==Testing & debugging==
To test the output of the template on a particular category name, use the {{para|testcase}} parameter, and {{para|testcasegap}} if necessary:
* {{tlx|Category series navigation| testcase{{=}}[[:Category:1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791)|1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791)]]| min{{=}}1760}} →
{{Category series navigation | testcase=1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791) | min=1760}}

* {{tlx|Category series navigation| testcase{{=}}[[:Category:1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791)|1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791)]]| max{{=}}1790s}} →
{{Category series navigation | testcase=1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791) | max=1790s}}
<br/>
To see all links produced and/or tested, and what effect each has on their display, use {{para|list-all-links|yes}}:
* {{tlx|Category series navigation| testcase{{=}}[[:Category:Nations at the 2013 World Athletics Championships|Nations at the 2013 World Athletics Championships]]| min{{=}}2008| skip-gaps{{=}}yes| list-all-links{{=}}yes}} →
