Template:Backlog count/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Backlog count. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | Due to a server limit of 500 "expensive parser function" calls (e.g. #ifexist:, PAGESIZE:, and PAGESINCATEGORY:), this template will only work properly if the page using it has not already exceeded the limit. When the limit is exceeded, the page using this template or module is categorised in Category:Pages with too many expensive parser function calls. (further information) |
Usage[edit]
This template is used by Wikipedia:Backlog. It is not intended for general use in the encyclopedia. It nicely formats categories whose names end in from month YEAR so they can be displayed in a numbered list. It includes the size of the category. Since it does not count sub-categories, it is not an actual count of the total backlog, just the backlog in the particular month and year.
