== Status meanings ==<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Status !! Meaning<br />
|-<br />
| Canon || Established <strong>house</strong> continuity; this does not claim a universal SCP canon.<br />
|-<br />
| Fanon || Community interpretation outside established house canon. This is not a synonym for Unapproved.<br />
|-<br />
| Approved || Accepted through editorial review; does not by itself establish canon.<br />
|-<br />
| Unapproved || Explicitly not approved. Do not use merely because no review is recorded.<br />
|-<br />
| Draft || Work in progress.<br />
|-<br />
| Archived || Retained for reference, no longer actively maintained.<br />
|-<br />
| Deprecated || Outdated or superseded; supply <code>replacement=Page title</code> where possible.<br />
|-<br />
| Unassessed || No decision recorded. This is the default for existing documents awaiting review.<br />
|}<br />
== Editorial status and continuity ==<br />
The <code>canon=Canon</code> or <code>canon=Fanon</code> parameter may accompany Draft, Approved, Unapproved, Archived, Deprecated or Unassessed. Leave it blank when unknown. A standalone Canon/Fanon status is supported when only continuity is known. Conflicting continuity values are flagged rather than adding contradictory categories.<br />
<br />
An editor should record the reason, reviewer and evidence on the talk page before assigning Canon or Approved. The template records a decision; it does not grant approval or override [[Echoes of the Flesh:Access levels|access levels]]. Do not infer canon from Solomonari/CotRH membership or the location of a story. The existing [[:Category:(SC) NON-Canon|NON-Canon category]] remains a broader legacy designation; Fanon has its own category.<br />
<br />
== Parameters and categories ==<br />
<code>status=</code> (or the first positional parameter), optional <code>canon=</code>, <code>note=</code>, <code>replacement=</code>, and <code>nocat=yes</code> for examples. Values ignore case and surrounding whitespace. Blank status defaults to Unassessed. Unknown values produce a correction note and a maintenance category, never an approval.<br />
<br />
Only Main, Solomonari and CotRH pages are categorised. Documentation and user sandboxes are excluded automatically. For demonstrations on a content page, always use <code>nocat=yes</code>. The Canon status uses the existing [[:Category:(SC) Canon]]. Other states have their own document categories under [[:Category:Document statuses]].<br />
<br />
== Examples (no category effects) ==<br />
{{Document status|Draft|nocat=yes}}<br />
{{Document status|status=Approved|canon=Canon|nocat=yes}}<br />
{{Document status|Deprecated|replacement=Kalmaktama Empire|nocat=yes}}<br />
