{{Category series navigation}} is intended to be a minimal-input, near-universal template for automatically navigating most numerically adjacent categories.
Most multi-year seasons/office terms/numerical ranges are acceptable, as long as the season duration/term length/range size is <= Error! Hàm find_var không thể tìm thấy văn bản biến trong thể loại "Category series navigation".***Navseasoncats failed to generate navbox***, and the gap between seasons is <= Error! Hàm find_var không thể tìm thấy văn bản biến trong thể loại "Category series navigation".***Navseasoncats failed to generate navbox***. For series exceeding either of these criteria, see/use {{Irregular category series navigation}}.
The length of each season is automatically determined from the originating category name, up to and including Error! Hàm find_var không thể tìm thấy văn bản biến trong thể loại "Category series navigation".***Navseasoncats failed to generate navbox*** years. CNBS:DATERANGE compliance is preferred, but some deviation is allowed and tracked for regular series with seasons > 1 year long. {{Category redirect}}s are followed, and tracked for either MOS contravention (to be corrected) or for navigational aid (no error). The gap size between successive seasons is also automatically determined, up to and including Error! Hàm find_var không thể tìm thấy văn bản biến trong thể loại "Category series navigation".***Navseasoncats failed to generate navbox*** years, and defaults to 0 (e.g. 1995–96 → 1996–97).
Automatically condensed years are supported for presidential categories only (but can be easily expanded as needed), for gaps up to and including Error! Hàm find_var không thể tìm thấy văn bản biến trong thể loại "Category series navigation".***Navseasoncats failed to generate navbox*** years, and defaults to 1. To skip gaps of up to Error! Hàm find_var không thể tìm thấy văn bản biến trong thể loại "Category series navigation".***Navseasoncats failed to generate navbox*** years in any year categories, use |skip-gaps=yes.
Automatically condensed yearsare supported for US presidential categories only, due to their consistency; use |skip-gaps=yes as desired on other year categories.
|skip-gaps=yes currently only works when starting on a year category, and is not intended to find all hyphenated ranges, which allows it to span much larger gaps.
Unaccounted-for name+number conventions: where a fixed number is part of the prefix or suffix text, e.g. Chapter 11 bankruptcies, a non-breaking space may force the template to work. See this fix, where {{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† between successive categories, use {{Preceding category}}, {{Category pair}}, {{Succeeding category}}, as needed, in addition to {{Category series navigation}} on both sides, or in the middle, of the gap. Even if {{Category series navigation}} is isolated, it has the benefit of confirming the absence of nearby categories to the reader or maintainer. †Permanent gaps, where there is a confirmed permanent absence of data, and not just a temporary, yet to be filled, gap on Wikipedia.
|skip-gaps=: create {{R from category navigation}} from an appropriate year to the hyphenated category that was not found.
