In the following example, the meta tags help to track the overall "status" of a project. This is useful for determining the progress of topics or identifying trouble spots. Meta tags that pinpoint the standing of topics can take on many different labels based on your needs (e.g., pending, approved, rejected, archived, or draft, review, rework, ready for translation, publish).
