Template:Backlog progress bar
Usage change
This template draws a progress bar and displays a statistics box. It is designed for use in backlog category elimination drives; as articles are removed from the category specified, the percentage goes up based on the original population (e.g., at the start of the drive) and the goal.
At the end of the drive, if the statistics are to be preserved as they are, one must first substitute the template, then substitute the two PAGESINCATEGORY magic words within. Invisible comments have been added to the code to make this process easier.
The example shown above uses Category:Pages needing to be simplified from April 2012. The backlog started with 500 articles and the goal is to reach 0 articles.
