A category navigation template, designed to be used on any by-province-or-territory category for any of the 13 current Provinces and territories of Canada.

It creates a navbox with links to identically-named categories for other provinces and territories. For example, on Category:History of Quebec, it creates links to Category:History of Alberta, Category:History of British Columbia etc.

Non-existent categories are not linked. Instead, they are listed in grey, i.e. greyed out.

If there are no navigable links, the navbox will not be displayed.

Usage

{{CanadaByProvinceCatNav}}

No parameters are available.

Examples

See the template in use on e.g.

Errors

If the template is used on a category whose title does not include a valid province or territory of Canada, then an error message is displayed, and no navbox is built.

Tracking categories

TOTAL Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".

Script error: No such module "Purge".

Development

This template was adapted in Seprember 2019 from {{AllIrelandByCountyCatNav}}, which began as a proposal at WP:WikiProject Ireland/CatNavProposal. The idea was refined through discussion at WT:WikiProject Ireland/CatNavProposal, and deployed in May 2018 after a 15-day trial on 150 pages.
