Current answers. Practical procedures. Reliable reference.
/* Shared styling for EDFM's editorial templates (Article status, Draft
warning, Prerequisites, Related articles, etc. -- see each template's
own page for which classes it uses). Deliberately restrained: a single
accent-colour left border, a small clipped top-right corner for a
"technical panel" read, no glow, no animation. Freely uses the --edfm-*
custom properties defined in MediaWiki:Common.css -- see the note there
under "6. Panels" for why these classes live only in this file and not
duplicated in Common.css too.
Updated 2026-08-07 for the "technical field manual" redesign: introduces
the .edfm-panel-* naming as the current standard (semantic variants:
info / warning / draft / reference), keeps .edfm-box as an alias so nothing
already using the older name breaks, and adds the .edfm-status structured
metadata module used by Template:Article status. */

/* --- Article metadata / status module (Template:Article status) --------
Semantic status colouring always pairs with a visible text badge (the
status word itself, e.g. "NEEDS REVIEW") -- never colour alone, per the
site's Verification Policy and general accessibility requirements. Three
colour tiers cover the seven actual status values (see
Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Verification Policy): positive/confirmed
(Verified, Partially verified) in cyan -- matching "cyan = verification
information" from the colour system; attention-needed (Needs review,
Draft, Upcoming) in orange -- matching "orange = important
actions/emphasis"; and neutral/non-current (Historical, Legacy only) in
a dim neutral tone. The template sets the modifier class via #switch. */
