When this template is placed on a category page it can count the number of items in the category (pages + images + subcategories). Then it can be set to automatically only report when the number of items is above some limit. The autoreport limit can be set to whatever value you prefer. Like this:
253:
it is more than one week since it was last re-rendered. Thus it can take a week before this template changes when the number of items have changed. (But if no one visits the page then it can take forever.) To get an immediate change you can
145:
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 "Knowledge (XXG):" pages, and the style shown in the examples below is for category pages.
154:
Often it is more efficient to handle several cases in a backlog at a time, since then we are up to speed with what needs to be done. Thus we often don't want to know about a backlog until it has reached some size.
412:
The number displayed as the backlog threshold. Useful if a backlog category has members that should not be counted towards the backlog (e.g. subcategories or example pages). See documentation for more information.
273:
Some categories have subcategories which shouldn't count towards this threshold. In such cases, use the number it should actually check for first, followed by the number it should say it checks for. For example,
375:
The number of items pending before the category/page/etc. is considered backlogged. For example, setting the threshold to 1 means the process is considered backlogged if it has any items in the queue.
672:
If true, says that the notice will automatically hide itself. Note: this only affects the message on the template; it does NOT facilitate automatically removing the notice.
707:
If true, asks editors to remove the message entirely when the backlog is cleared. Otherwise, the template will ask editors to change the template to {{no backlog}}.

The type of location of the backlog. Defaults to "This category" if used in that namespace. Otherwise, defaults to "This page".

This template can be used without any parameters, in which case it will always be visible until it is manually removed:
481:
If true, hides the template entirely when there is no backlog. This parameter is ignored if not used on a category page

Note that MediaWiki only parses the code when the category page is re-rendered. That is, when someone views the page

For use in testing. Makes the template function as if it were placed in the given namespace.

If true, disables the template. This is functionally equivalent to removing the template.
