Help:Status icons: Difference between revisions

The most common type of status icon features an icon on the left, with its text label. For example, if a page is primarily discussing gameplay, the status icon will say "Gameplay". These icons may indicate the canon status of the subject or the function of a real world page. Certain icons denote a featured or protected article on the wiki.

If you're already familiar with Halopedia pages, you may be familiar with era icons. Status icons were created to replace era icons. Era icons were originally created to categorize pages according to where the subject appeared in the ''Halo'' universe timeline, with real world articles being denoted with a "real world" icon. However, this eventually led to an issue where there's a mismatch between subjects and their era icons, like a Covenant topic being given a "UNSC" era icon because it appeared during the years of human interplanetary colonization. Thus, this necessitated the introduction of a replacement system.

Every icon in the status icon system was designed with the purpose of categorizing content down to its base roots within fiction, the real world, and/or namespaces.
