Template:Category information/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Category information.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage edit

This template displays the number of pages in a category in a variety of formats, with an optional backlog parameter.

Note: This template uses expensive parser functions, so when this template is used repeatedly on a page, the page may take a long time to load.

Full parameters edit

{{Category information|1=(cat name)|backlog=|format=}}

|1= the name of the category.
|backlog= (optional) an integer used to work out if the category has a backlog (when the number of pages is greater than this number). When not using this parameter, the backlog feature will not be used.
|format= (optional) either onlyinfo or bullet, used to customise output of this template. The default is bullet.

Examples edit

{{Backlog category information|Biography articles without listas parameter|backlog=50}}

Category:Biography articles without listas parameter has a backlog of 3,386 pages

{{Backlog category information|Biography articles without listas parameter|backlog=50|format=onlyinfo}}

backlog of 3,386 pages
