Help:Status icons

This help page provides information on Status Icons; also known as Status Labels; or Page status indicators.

Overview

Status Icons on Halopedia are primarily to help readers get a quick view of the status of a page, and how it fits into the wiki.

The most common type of status icon features an icon on the left, with text directly saying what the icon is for. If a page is primarily "Gameplay" in nature, the Status Icon will say "Gameplay". These icons are dedicated to telling the reader what a page is about very quickly.

There is also icons to show if an icon is featured or protected, these are icons to quickly the "status" of an article.

The crunch

If you're familiar with Halopedia pages already, you may be familiar with Era Icons, these Status Icons were created directly to replace them. Era Icons were originally created to do a similar job, but with a focus on putting content into "Eras", this causes an issue where some subjects didn't fit a specific "Era" or area they covered, and over time status icons became an issue needing to be fixed.

So every icon in the Status Icon system was planned to put a lot of content down to common or their base roots, with "Fiction".
