Template:Admin backlog/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Admin backlog. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the {{admin backlog}} message box.
It can be put at the top of pages and categories that have a backlog which require the attention of administrators. A backlog is a list of things that need to be done and that have not been done for some time.
This template puts the pages into Category:Administrative backlog, where admins can see where work needs to be done.
Contents
Usage
Usually this template is used without any parameters, then it is always visible until it is manually removed. Like this:
{{admin backlog}}
Which renders like this:
| This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators. Please change this notice to {{No admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
This template automatically shows the appropriate style depending on what kind of page it is shown on. The style above is for "other" pages such as "Wikipedia:" pages, and the style shown in the examples below is for category pages.
By adding disabled=yes, the box and accompanying category disappear from the page. This is functionally equivalent to removing the backlog notice.
items (such as subcategories), which shouldn't be counted. For example, Category:Requests for unblock has 3 subcategories which don't count towards the backlog, so it has the following header:
{{admin backlog|13|10}}
Silence
To prevent any output when there is no backlog, use {{admin backlog|silent=yes}}
Bot updates
In some cases, a bot automatically adds and removes this template from a page. In this instance, the bot parameter should be used as follows (using "RFC bot" as an example):
{{admin backlog|bot=RFC bot}}
Which renders like this:
| This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators. This notice is automatically updated by Template:User0 and will no longer be displayed when the backlog is cleared. |
