I would like some more eyes on
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94307.
Since its inception, page status indicators have one major drawback;
automatic sorting cannot be disabled.
It purports to give placements control as it sorts by indicator name,
but this proves difficult, as none of the templates invoking idicators
allow passing the name. And even then, order is not guaranteed due to
the used sorting algorithm.
So while in theory, it would make more sense to leave sorting be
govenrned by local consensus, we are now stuck with a solution that
essentially does not allow any order control at all.
I submitted a patch that disables sorting, but the task and patch are
stalled. So please, more voices and solutions on how we can solve this.
Regards,
