A new extension - Status, has been added into the wiki. Most users should have noticed the change on their user profile. We will try to optimise the code so that it represent a more real-time status of users.

Below is the description of Status derived from Help:Status.

Status is an extension that allows users to check the status of a user or themselves on their user page.

How does it work?

Status on user page

It is shown in user profile automatically. However it is also possible to add another user's status by input the following codes:

<span data-user-status="USERNAME">placeholder text</span>

USERNAME would be replaced with the intended user whose status is being checked. placeholder text would be replaced with some sort of error message or notice that the script didn't run.

It's recommended that the above code be put into a template for easier use.

Types of Status

Online: This status appears when you have made more than 0 edit but less than 2 edits recently.

Editing: This status appears when you have made more than 1 edit but less than 10 edits recently.

Busy editing: This status appears when you have made more 9 edits recently.

Away: This status appears when you have made no edits recently.

Users should understand that the status may not represent real-time activity level of a user. Programmers are trying their best to optimize the codes.

Customisation

Administrators can modify the the scripts on MediaWiki:Status/code.js easily.

While normal users may copy the script from MediaWiki:Status/code.js into personal common.js (effect on Don't Starve Wiki only) or into personal global.js (effect on every wikia sites). Then modify the scripts according to your preference.
