{{ONLINESTATUS}}: a formatted (and translated) string describing the status (exactly the same you can see near the radio boxes in Special:Preferences).{{RAWONLINESTATUS}}: the internal name of the level.{{#anyuseronlinestatus:}}: get online status of any user on any page, if you want the raw version, pass a non empty second parameter.

MediaWiki:Onlinestatus-toggle-name: will appear on Special:Preferences and{{ONLINESTATUS}}magic wordMediaWiki:Onlinestatus-subtitle-name: will be the subtitle of user page if he select this status.
