Typical usage should be on dissimilar preceding/succeeding categories, or where a large gap exists in otherwise sequential categories. For similarly named sequential categories with gaps less than 5 years, use {{Category series navigation}}
instead, and {{Category series navigation|skip-gaps=yes}}
for gaps up to 15 years from the parent.

→Only the first two parameters are processed, others are ignored.
If more than two parameters are supplied, a warning message is shown when the page is previewed. When it is saved, the page is added to the hidden tracking category: Category:Pages using category pair with more than 2 parameters.
If more than two parameters are supplied, the template is unlikely to do what the editor intended. For Category:NAME1
, Category:NAME2
, and Category:NAME3
, for example:
{{Category pair|NAME1|NAME2|NAME3}}
will ignore Category:NAME3
, and{{Category pair|NAME1||NAME2}}
will ignore Category:NAME2
, because a duplicate |
character between the two categories causes Category:NAME2
to be the third parameter rather the second.
