Exactly why this is a GOOD idea, though! lol. Without an indicator, no one knows if it's on a huge break when they start it. It could also notify people who follow the series but not much news on it why all of a sudden there's been none for months.
No, it's really not. It might seem like a good idea on the surface (and work as intended) on some very, veeery, veeeeeeery small percentage of the titles here.........and yeah, all the rest are going to be totally unaddressed (most likely) or just tagged flat wrong.
I mean, think about it, you're talking about trying to document information on completely volunteer, hobbyist groups that...... an enormous number of....... spring into being, and drop out of being, at the drop of a hat. It's just an impossible idea to try to track scanlation statuses (in the context of this discussion), it'd be like trying to herd cats. That's why absolutely nobody does it.
Simple is best. As OMGWTFBBQPONIES said here, and as has been said more than just a few times in the past when this very same type of idea has come up, "Complete" = you can read it completely on Batoto, "Ongoing" = you can't read it completely on Batoto. This is just a reader site, not an all-encompassing information site. Some of this stuff is just going to require effort on the reader's part if they want to get some of this information.
