dashes; "fewer"

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}


This template displays the backlog of articles with edits awaiting review in the [[WP:Pending Changes|Pending Changes]] queue. The size of this backlog is assigned to one of five levels, from "very high" (1) to "very low" (5), much like the [[DEFCON]] scale. This level determines the colour coded large number displayed, and the actual number of articles in the queue is shown in smaller font below.

The information – ''level'', number in queue (''info''), and time signature (''sign'') – is provided by [[User:DatBot|DatBot]], Task 4, and is updated every 15 minutes approximately.

==Levels==
{| class="wikitable"
! LEVEL || Description || Number in pending changes queue
|-
| 1 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=1}} || 18 or more
|-
| 2 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=2}} || 13–17
|-
| 3 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=3}} || 8–12
|-
| 4 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=4}} || 4–7
|-
| 5 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=5}} || 3 or fewer
|-
| 0 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=0}} || Unknown
