Template:Backlog count/sandbox
- [[:Category:]] ([[:Category:{{{1}}} from {{{2}}}|{{{2}}}]]—0)
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Backlog count (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
 | 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.
- Example
To format
- Category:Accuracy disputes from August 2024
- Category:Articles with unsourced statements from August 2024
as a numbered list, with their sizes, use
{{Backlog count|Accuracy disputes|August 2024}}{{Backlog count|Articles with unsourced statements|August 2024}}
