Someone proposed to have a _distinct color for status "unmaintained"._ Status "unmaintained" is currently signalled with gray color, the same as for status "unknown"
This makes sense to me. Go for it.
We as users cannot change the colors, because these are defined as classes ext-status-<extensionstatus>. and are _not_ defined in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Template:Extension .
They're defined in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-site.css
Can someone perform a global wikitext source search on mediawiki on which pages the string "ext-status-" is used ?
I don't think you need to worry about someone using class="ext-status-unmaintained" elsewhere.
00 BF FF (DeepBlueSky) may be a suitable background colour for "unmaintained", see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_colors#X11_color_names .
DeepSkyBlue is pretty cheery on my screen, would sir prefer something in a decaying brown or green? I added ext-status-unmaintained to Gadget-site.css and made it #8B4513 (SaddleBrown ). Whatever works.
BTW the template puts unmaintained extensions in Category:Not_LTS_ready .
