The template is automatically updated every hour by {{botlinks|EarwigBot}}, and if any changes are made to the template itself, they will be lost. It is because of this that most of the core data that the template displays, that is, everything else than the actual raw statistics, is stored on subpages of this template. Editing the template itself will cause you to lose all of the changes you made, but editing the subpages will not have the same effect. That way, you can change the messages the template displays without having the bot rewrite them later. See below for a list of subpages.

Usage

This is a template that displays the current statistics about Articles for creation submissions in an easy-to-view format. In the past, you needed to manually search through Category:Pending AfC submissions if you wanted to find information about active submissions. Now, you can simply look at this chart, and it will tell you general information about all pending and recently declined or accepted submissions, so you can easily sort by page size, existence of references, presence of copyvios, and so forth.

The template is automatically updated every hour by EarwigBot Template:Toolbar, and any changes made to the data itself (content between <!-- stat begin --> and <!-- stat end --> and between <!-- sig begin --> and <!-- sig end -->) will be lost. If you want to change the display of the template, you can edit content outside of these comments, or edit the subpages below:
