Related to the recent issue to add a new vocabulary for handbook page statuses (
#304826: Define documentation vocabulary →
), it would be much more useful if the status could be displayed in a way that highlights it to the readers rather than tucked off as yet another link in the corner. Ideally a message will be displayed at the top of the page that explains what the status means, e.g.:
"This page is marked as incomplete. That means that not all of the required information is included yet. If you would like to help complete this page, you do so by ...blah blah blah." In addition to the text message we could also do visual changes like color or what not but I don't view that as the important target here.
There are two approaches to dealing with this on d.o (that I've thought of):
1. Do it at the theme layer and hardcode it in.
2. Use the Term message module which was actually built for this very purpose.
I don't feel like this is something that has to happen "right away" but sooner rather than later would be nice. :-) My feeling is that using a module is a good idea, but I know that it a) adds yet another module to keep track of and maintain and b) may take a while to get through the review process for inclusion. I don't honestly care how it gets done so I'd like to know which option (or any other option) is preferred so I can rally my energy in the right direction to get it implemented.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
