• {{Catnav/built-template-doc}} - standard documentation page for templates built with {{Catnav}}
• Module:Catnav - may act as a drop-in-replacement for this template and adds some features

→ Replacing current Template:Catnav text by {{#invoke:Catnav|main}} is possible and should work, but there are a lot of dependent templates and verification of them all by means of preview page with this template is tedious. Doing this transition without a larger review may produce regressions, particularly in layout.
