Şablon:Navseasoncats

Multi-year seasons/office terms/numerical ranges are acceptable as long as the duration/range size remains constant, and no years/numbers are irregularly skipped. Irregular term lengths are acceptable, if a common year exists between them (e.g. 2000–2001→2001–2005). For categories with irregular ranges and gaps, see {{Irregular navseasoncats}}.

The length of each duration/range is automatically determined from the originating category name, up to and including 10 years. MOS:DATERANGE compliance is preferred, but some deviation is allowed and tracked. {{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 durations/ranges is also automatically determined, up to and including 5 years if a surrounding category is found, and defaults to 0 (e.g. 1995–96 → 1996–97).

Automatically condensed year display is supported for presidential categories only (but can be easily expanded as needed), for gaps up to and including 5 years, and defaults to 1. To skip gaps up to 10–15 years (position-dependent) in any year categories, use |skip-gaps=yes.

Limitations[çavkaniyê biguhêre]

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.
Automatically condensed year display is supported for presidential categories only, due to their consistency. Use |skip-gaps=yes as desired elsewhere.
Automatically condensed Olympics display is not supported due to peculiarities; use {{Winter Olympics by year category navigation}}, etc., instead.
Ordinal words do not work above the ninety-ninth, because no higher working examples were found.
Where a fixed number is part of the prefix text, e.g. Chapter 11 bankruptcies, a non-breaking space may force the template to work. See [1], where {{title year}} skipped over "11" as part of a word rather than a discrete number. (This is no longer required in that example.)
General: for large, permanent gaps between successive categories, or when the base category name changes, use {{Category pair}} in addition to {{Navseasoncats}} on both sides of the gap/name change. Even if {{Navseasoncats}} is isolated, it has the benefit of confirming the absence of nearby categories to the reader or maintainer. "Permanent gaps" means gaps where it is confirmed that there is no data to be created, not just current gaps on Wikipedia.

Usage[çavkaniyê biguhêre]

Typical usage

{{Navseasoncats}}

Specify a minimum and/or maximum year to display

{{Navseasoncats|min=-100}}
{{Navseasoncats|min=100 BC}}
{{Navseasoncats|min=1753|max=1810}}
{{Navseasoncats|max=Şablon:NEXTYEAR}}

To skip gaps in year categories

{{Navseasoncats|skip-gaps=yes}}

To not automatically follow {{Category redirect}}s

{{Navseasoncats|follow-redirects=no}}

Exceptional cases

{{Navseasoncats|cat=2010s albums}} — to behave as if placed on |cat=; consider using {{Category pair}} instead of |cat=

Testing & debugging[çavkaniyê biguhêre]

To test the output of the template on a particular category name, use the |testcase= parameter, and |testcasegap= if necessary:

{{Navseasoncats | testcase=Birds described in 1761 | min=1758}} →

1756
1757
1758
1759
1760
1761
1762
1763
1764
1765
1766

{{Navseasoncats | testcase=[[:Category:Şablon:YEAR elections|Şablon:YEAR elections]] | max=Şablon:NEXTYEAR}} →

To see all links produced, and what effect each has on their display, use |list-all-links=yes:

{{Navseasoncats | testcase=Nations at the 2013 World Athletics Championships | min=2008 | skip-gaps=yes | list-all-links=yes}} →

Technically, this is an inappropriate category for {{Navseasoncats}} placement, but it best shows the |list-all-links=yes behavior for all element variants (blue, red/grey, hidden, and redirect), and would otherwise display as:

2008
2009
2010
2011
2012
2013
2014
2015
2016
2017
2018
