Thread:Template talk:Extension/Forthcoming extensions

Should there be another extensions status "forthcoming"? E.g. what happens if someone submits the code to gerrit, writes the extension page so the reviewer can read how to use it, and then is waiting for review? In the meantime, the code hasn't been approved for the repository, but other people viewing the extension page might not know that. There also seem to be a few extension pages out there where someone put some partially-completed, non-working code, apparently with the intention of finishing it later. "Unstable" would be an understatement; "not working" or "not finished" would be more accurate.

On the one hand, adding that status might encourage people to post such half-completed work (which would not be a big deal if people had more of a tendency to come back and finish it). On the other hand, unless we're going to delete pages with non-working code, then we're keeping around pages with an inaccurate status. Perhaps the solution is to put a notice banner at the top stating that it's unfinished.
