This template can be used on workgroup pages or user pages as a tool to track the status of any article. It displays a pictorial representation of the article's status, the article's title (in blue if existent, otherwise in red).
The possible depictions are 
, 
, 
and 
, with the status of the article increasing from stubby (left) to approved (right). An external article that has been imported into citizendium with no changes is indicated by an empty status image (
).
Example of use
{{pl|Biology}} produces: Biology
The name does not have to be identical to the articles name. This might be useful when the context of the word is not in doubt. For example, on the Biology/Related Articles page it would be better to use the word Cell rather than Cell (biology).
{{pl|Cell (biology)}} is seen as: Cell (biology)
{{pl|Cell (biology)|Cell}} is seen as: Cell
No article or definition
If used on an entry that does not exist or have a definition (e.g. Foobar),
{{pl|Foobar}} produces: Foobar .
Notice that there are four links in the above output:
- "Foobar" is a link to a blank article to be titled "Foobar".
- Add definition is a link to start a definition subpage for "Foobar". You would click on that link and write a definition, and save it, and then it would appear here. To learn what to write there, please see CZ:Definitions. Once you have written a definition, this link will disappear and the definition will appear in its place, as you can see above with the definition of "Biology".
- "e" is another link to a (blank) definition page for "Foobar". But this link will not disappear. (See the "Biology" line above again; you can click the blue "e" on that line and from there, edit the definition of "Biology".
No article but has a definition
If used on an entry that does not exist but does have a definition:
{{pl|Botany}} produces: Botany
Redirects
If used on an entry that is a redirect, or an article without a metadata template, the link will appear as a purple color.
If used on a redirect that does have a definition:
{{pl|Supernova}} produces: Supernova
Or for a redirect without a definition:
{{pl|fMRI}} produces: fMRI .
