Help:Page status indicators/bn

Page status indicators are icons (or short text snippets) displayed outside of the main content that provide quick information about the status of the article (for example whether the page is or whether it is a featured article).

Adding page status indicators

Lua module syntax:

Note that:

It's not possible to have several indicators with the same name – in case of duplicates, the latest occurrence of the tag wins. This ensures consistency across pages and provides a simple means of ordering or grouping them. They are intended to merely reflect the content or metadata that is already present on the page, and not be data themselves. You should be able to use the appropriate, template list,  report, or other means to list pages that include a given indicator.
 * Every indicator must have a unique identifier (name).
 * Indicators are displayed ordered by their names (case-sensitive) and not in order of their occurrence.
 * Indicators are not tracked.
 * are not currently supported (see 188443).

Each indicator is also given an ID of, where   is the name assigned to the indicator using the   syntax.

Using indicators from PHP code
Access the object and call its   method, passing an ID and the HTML string you want displayed. If you're adding a help link to documentation, call its  method, also implemented by  and other classes. This puts a help link in the indicators area; for example, see Special:WhatLinksHere.
