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.
