This is a documentation subpage for Template:Backlog status. 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)

Displays a list of a bunch of backlogs. Internally, uses ((BacklogCount)) to generate each link.

• Most categories are counted. Each counted category counts against Wikipedia's Expensive parser function count limit of 500.
• Items which count dated maintenance categories call Template:Dated maintenance category count, which counts the last 60 months of categories, resulting in 61 expensive parser function calls for each dated maintenance category.
• The following dated maintenance categories are counted:

• Category:BLP articles lacking sources
• Category:Wikipedia external links cleanup

• Wikipedia:Backlog
• Template:Dashboard
• Wikipedia:Dashboard
