This template is used by members of WikiProject Articles for creation to keep track of the backlog of submissions. It may be transcluded to a project or user page by typing {{AFC status}} along with various optional parameters:

• The align parameter may be set to left, right or none and prescribes the position of the template on the page. The default, if not specified, is left. ("none" means it breaks text flow, while "left" means it's on the left side of the page and text flows around it.)
• The type parameter may be set to userbox or original and determines the format of the display (see examples below). The default is original.
• The nocat parameter may be set to true or false. If true, the page will not be added to Category:Wikipedia Articles for Creation reviewers when using userbox format.

The levels are based on the age of the oldest drafts
