How to differ completed pages from unfinished pages

Hi,

Just started using Mediawiki as a personal sort of notebook for a fictional world I am building.

I am wondering what would be the best way to mark pages that are completed (or "published") from pages that still need information? And to take it a step further, can I create a Special Page that tallies this information up? Like one special page for completed pages and another for the needs-work pages?

I hope that makes sense. Thanks for your help in advance!

MediaWiki 1.26.2
PHP 7.0.0 (apache2handler)

You can use templates or categories to mark pages. If you e.g. add a template called "unfinished" to a page and in the template you add the category "unfinished page", then all pages, which have the template on them, will appear in the category named "Unfinished page".
