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 unforseen 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 a 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

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 into a Forum 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 1 month of age.

Halopedia template expansion help
The following is for Halopedia staff to enhance this template if required. Otherwise you do not need to read this and can go back to the previous section above.
 * ''See also Template:Status/Icon

Adding to the template
If an extra status icon is needed. All you need to do is add the following code after the previous one, with "00" being replaced with the next number in the sequence.
 * Note from CIA391: 16 is already overkill, you do not need to add more. This is mostly here so expanding this is understood.
