Searching behavior

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. 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

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.
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.

Usage

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=2025}}

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

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}}

خطأ لوا: too many expensive function calls.

{{Navseasoncats | testcase=0 elections | max=2025}}

خطأ لوا: too many expensive function calls.

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

خطأ لوا: too many expensive function calls.

Which is technically 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:

خطأ لوا: too many expensive function calls.
