If the name of the main article is different than the name of the category — for example: if the main article for Category:Dead or Alive is Dead or Alive (series) — then you will need to use one parameter to specify the article:
{{Cat main|Dead or Alive (series)}}→ Lua error in Module:Cat_main at line 26: attempt to call field 'formatPages' (a nil value).
