Since approximately forever, I've been standardizing location pages. This includes changing a variety of things when they turn up, such as removing (EP) from the minimap, making all headers ===level three===, and, as this discussion is about, removing the "current status" section.
The Style Guide states that it should be there, while the guide template does not. It's hard to tell due to loss of edit history, but I believe that "current status" was conceived before the DangerReport template seen atop most location pages today, and was never removed due to the effort that would be required relative to the reward. I see "current status" to be nothing more than an antiquated distraction and source of confusion for newbs. I thought that the general consensus was that it should be removed; Hence my on-and-off removal of it.
However, my removal of "current status" has recently been questioned, especially since I was doing it with primarily assumed consensus. Thus, I'd like the community to weigh in; should "current status" be removed from location pages, or let sit? --VVV RPGMBCWS 21:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
