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 less
 |-
 | 0 || {{Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|level=0}} || Unknown

<!--Levels 1 to 5 are assigned by the bot depending on the number in queue. The current thresholds are shown on the [[Template:Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|Descriptions subpage]].

Wordings ("very high", etc.) are taken from the [[Template:Pending Changes backlog/descriptions|Descriptions subpage]].-->
