TemplateDoc:Status

Variables
Use the below variables to indicate the status of which the article's subject is set. Important note, the variables are case sensitive, so "canon" will not work, but "Canon" will.

Fiction canon specifications
These showcase the canon status among the main narrative in Halo fiction:
 * - Halo fiction that is part of "core" canon. (This may include some semi-canon media mixed in)
 * - Halo fiction that is apocrypha canon. This is media that is not yet confirmed to be in "core" canon. Media listed as such include "Marketing" and "Toy" fiction.
 * - Halo fiction that is officially released non-canon. (Examples include "Halo: Legends - Odd One Out", and the "Hellspartans".

Emergency canon cases
These are emergency status icons in preparation for unforeseen events:
 * - Emergency status icon for the Halo TV show if it turns out that the show is not part of the same canon as "core" canon. If confirmed will create a page called "PAGENAME/TVShow" if the subject already exists in canon.
 * - Emergency status icon for an alternative timeline that is not part of the same canon as the main Halo universe and TV show universe. If confirmed, will create a page called "PAGENAME/AltCanon" if the subject already exists in one canon or another.

Real world
This is the status icon to use if the article is real-world based:
 * - Status icon for real-world topics that do not exist in the Halo universe. These include companies and people.
 * - Status icon for gameplay topics. These include achievements and gameplay medals.

Namespaces
These are status icons that would apply to the various projects and namespaces. Never use these on the main space:
 * - Status icon archives and other similar things. This is mostly on the "Archive:" namespace.
 * - Status icon for "Halopedia" pages. This is mostly on "Halopedia:" and "Help:" namespaces.
 * - Status icon for news Halopedia puts out. This is only on the "News:" namespace.

Other
This is the catch all status icon. If an article has no known status, does not fall under the existing status', or you do not know what to class it under; please use this!
 * - Status icon for stuff that doesn't fall under stuff listed in this list. When used please put the information in a forum topic to discuss.

Protected
If an article is locked please use one of these pending the type of lock on an article alongside a normal status icon:
 * - These are articles that are protected from all users from being edited. This is usually put on policy and help pages.
 * - These are articles that are protected due to upcoming media, and suspected vandalism.
 * - Articles temporary locked due to edit wars or constant vandalism. These last 1 week.
 * - Articles that are protected due to high risk. Users can only edit these pages when a users' account reaches 3 days of age and 5 edits.
