Development stages are little indicators placed next to a link to a book or a page to indicate its progress, as reviewed at a certain date. They also are used on a book's main page to indicate the book's progress as a whole. They help readers identify comprehensive content, while drawing editors' attention to pages needing work.

Readers browsing through a certain subject area or classification often want to view books that are complete or closer to completion. In order to indicate the level of completion for a book, add{{status|<PROGRESS>}} to a book's main page, where<PROGRESS> is one of the following:0%,25%,50%,75%, or100%. Don't abuse this to try to make your book more popular; misleading readers will cause them to leave in frustration.
| Use | To put a book in |
|---|---|
{{status|100%}} | Completed books |
{{status|75%}} | Books nearing completion |
{{status|50%}} | Half-finished books |
{{status|25%}} | Partly developed books |
{{status|0%}} | Freshly started books |
Sometimes it's very hard to figure out what should be added in one page rather than in another. If you evaluate a page to an incomplete stage, you know what is missing. So don't forget to fill a TODO list. Add{{Todo|<MISSING>}} to the page, where<MISSING> is a text describing what should be added to make the page complete.
