Template:State

This article documents a game currently under development - information may change frequently and could be outdated or irrelevant.

Documentation for the above template (sometimes hidden from view).

Description

The state tag is a multi-use label that states the current condition of the game the article is covering.

Note that the tag should only be removed once the tag is no longer relevant to the game (i.e. game is fully released, not under active development). The tag should also be updated when the state of the game has changed (ex. game has moved from development/Early Access to release state).

Arguments

• state or 1 - prototype, dev, postdev, unknown, unplayable.

• dev is also mapped to synonyms such as Early Access or EA.
• Certain obsolete values are also available but not required to be used. Visually these all work the same as dev, but adds the article to different categories:

1. predev
2. prealpha
3. alpha
4. beta

• ref - Used only for unknown and unplayable states only.
