{{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 <= 10, and the gap between seasons is <= 6. 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 10 years. MOS: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 6 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 5 years, and defaults to 1. To skip gaps of up to 50 years in any year categories, use |skip-gaps=yes
.
|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.|skip-gaps=

To test the output of the template on a particular category name, use the |testcase=
parameter, and |testcasegap=
if necessary:
{{Category series navigation|testcase=1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791)|min=1760}}
→{{Category series navigation|testcase=1770s in the Province of Quebec (1763–1791)|max=1790s}}
→
To see all links produced and/or tested, and what effect each has on their display, use |list-all-links=yes
:
{{Category series navigation|testcase=Nations at the 2013 World Athletics Championships|min=2008|skip-gaps=yes|list-all-links=yes}}
→If the template encounters an issue, it displays an error message and/or places the category into one or more of the following tracking categories:
