Hiatus Marking

[Reikou]

You know how theres a blue END mark that can be put on a chapters name? It would be nice if we had a Hiatus one too, as the extra visibility would help make users aware of whats happening and I'm sure a lot of people don't pay that much attention to the main pages of series they have been following for a while which means they can end up never finding out about it.

Ignore me if such a thing already exists, since I haven't seen it being used before.

@Reikou
Titles already have a publication status in the title page, it shows if it is Ongoing, Hiatus or Completed, maybe the devs can change that part to be more noticeable, like for example, completed would be in a green box, ongoing in a blue box and hiatus in a red box.

I misread the topic as "Hiatus Marketing" and was about to flag this as spam.
But I think @Richman's idea of color-coding the status for better immediate visibility might benefit readers.
Many still misunderstand what "Publication Status" actually means, confusing it with "Scanlation/Release Status". an idea previously shot down due to there being many releases in different languages.

i see this confusion a lot. Maybe a description based on status can be displayed when you hover over Completed/Hiatus... Or a change to the text since there is room to the right of Completed / Hiatus.

If there's something better than "Status in Country of Origin", I'm all for it.
