Template talk:Status

Unknown Status Usage
The Unknown has been used more and more as "show additional information". Can we add another status like 'Note' or 'Other'? The change shouldn't be that much of a problem because we can use a bot the change  to   so only the cases who uses the symbol for additional information and not the real unknown status, and if there are individual cases which I can't think of where the additional information is used with unknown. I thought a symbol like ⊙, ◇, ∧, ○, or ∴ for example are distinct enough but still go well with the current symbols, or we can change the Unknown symbol and use the asterisks for 'Note'.

Good idea. How about keeping the asterisk for additional information and using a question mark for unknown status? 18:25, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I didn't suggested the question mark initially because the galleries use 4-5 marks for unnamed character (see Template:Hakumai Gallery for example) as well as galleries and naviboxes, the common places for the status template have the mark at the top with the 'How does it work?' link.

I think I changed everything in the templates and few pages. Rhavkin (talk) 20:22, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Alright. I don't think the other question marks are an issue since the status "?" appears in smaller font. 22:47, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
