Scratchpad:Status indicator

Some members of the Admin Tools Wiki (ATW) use a status indicator in their ProfileMastheads to let other members and visitors know when they are online, busy, offline, etc. Below, are step-by-step instructions for how to implement the status indicator here at ATW, and on other wikis.

Because access is needed to pages in the MediaWiki namespace, implementation on another wiki can only be performed by an Administrator. If you are an Administrator at your wiki, you will be able to do this. However, you should ensure that there is a consensus at your wiki for this.
