Help:Development stages
Development stages are little indicators placed next to a link to a page/section to indicate its progress, as reviewed at a certain date. They also are used on a project's main page to indicate the progress as a whole. They help readers identify comprehensive content, while drawing editors' attention to pages needing work.
Quart stages[edit | edit source]There are two templates that create the quart stages indicators: {{stage}} and {{stage short}}. They take the development stage as their first argument and a date as an optional second:
If the second parameter is not included in the {{stage}} template the date will not be displayed. Deci-stages[edit | edit source]The {{decistage}} template creates an indicator with ten stages:

Project completion status
[edit | edit source]Readers browsing through a certain subject area or classification often want to view projects that are complete or closer to completion. In order to indicate the level of completion for a project, add {{status|<PROGRESS>}} to a project's main page, where <PROGRESS>
is one of the following: 0%
, 25%
, 50%
, 75%
, or 100%
. Don't abuse this to try to make your project more popular; misleading readers will cause them to leave in frustration.
Use | To put a project in |
---|---|
{{status|100%}} | Completed projects |
{{status|75%}} | Projects nearing completion |
{{status|50%}} | Half-finished projects |
{{status|25%}} | Partly developed projects |
{{status|0%}} | Freshly started projects |
TODO list
[edit | edit source]Sometimes it's very hard to figure out what should be added in one page rather than in another. If you evaluate a page to an incomplete stage, you know what is missing. So don't forget to fill a TODO list. Add {{Todo|<MISSING>}} to the page, where <MISSING>
is a text describing what should be added to make the page complete.
