Editing Status

A card's '''Status''' is a term showing how many copies of that card are allowed in a player's combined [[Main Deck]], [[Extra Deck]], and [[Side Deck]] for official Duels. Statuses are announced every several months in the [[Historic_Forbidden/Limited_Chart|Forbidden and Limited lists]].

The following Statuses are used in the lists:

* [[Unlimited]] - up to three copies, the maximum, are currently allowed.
* [[Semi-Limited]] - up to two copies are currently allowed.
* [[Limited]] - only one copy is currently allowed.
* [[Forbidden]] - no copies are currently allowed. This status is only used in the ''TCG'' [[Advanced Format]] and in the ''OCG''; Forbidden cards are changed to Limited in the ''TCG'' [[Traditional Format]].

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia also covers the following statuses:

* [[Legal]] - the card can be used in an official Duel. Since all Forbidden, Limited, Semi-Limited, and Unlimited cards are also legal, this status is reserved on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia for legal cards that are not also any of the above four statuses. (This applies mainly for release [[Token Monster]]s; see the [[legal]] article for more information.)
* [[Illegal]] - the card is not and never will be legal anywhere. All official illegal cards have [[Limitation Text]] present on the card, usually stating "This card cannot be used in a Duel".
* [[Not Legal]] - the card is only legal in certain regions; outside of those regions, they are considered [[not legal]] (see the article for more information).
* [[Not Yet Released]] - the card has a confirmed future release date. Any copies that may be leaked will be not be considered legal until then.
* [[Not Yet Legal]] - the card has been officially released but will not be considered legal until some time in the future.

-"Status" is an unofficial term in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''/''[[Rush Duel]]'' community that describes two topics about a card's playability:
-* A card's status on [[Forbidden & Limited List]]s, limiting its number of copies that can be included in the player's Deck.
+The following Statuses are used in the lists:
-* A card's [[Legality]], determining whether or not it is playable in a card game format.

+* [[Semi-Limited]] - up to two copies are currently allowed.
+* [[Limited]] - only one copy is currently allowed.

+The Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia also covers the following statuses:
-* [[Unlimited]] - up to three copies, the maximum, are allowed. All released cards not included in a list are assumed to be Unlimited, unless they have [[limitation text]]; cards are only listed as Unlimited if they were previously Forbidden, Limited, or Semi-Limited and have been Unlimited in the list.
-* [[Semi-Limited]] - up to two copies are allowed.
-* [[Limited]] - only one copy is allowed.
-* [[Forbidden]] - no copies are allowed. This status is only used in the ''TCG'' Advanced Format and in the ''OCG''; Forbidden cards are normally considered to be Limited in the ''TCG'' [[Traditional Format]].

-* [[Forbidden]]
-* [[Limited 1]]
-* [[Limited 2]]

-==Legality statuses==
-The following terms describe [[card legality]] statuses that affect a card's usage in official TCG/OCG formats.
-; Legal
-* [[Legal]] cards can be used in an official Duel. Since all Forbidden, Limited, Semi-Limited, and Unlimited cards are also legal, this status is only specifically assigned to cards that are not also any of the above four statuses. [[Monster Token]]s and [[Counter]]s are legal cards that cannot be in a player's Deck, and have the appropriate limitation text "This card cannot be in a Deck."
-; Not Legal
-* [[Illegal]] cards are not and never will be legal anywhere. All official illegal cards have limitation text present on the card, usually stating "This card cannot be used in a Duel."
-* Cards that have only been officially released in certain regions are [[not legal]] in any other regions.
-* Cards that are [[not yet released]] in a region are not legal in that region until they are released. While all unreleased cards are not yet released, they are normally not marked as such until they have a confirmed release date.
-* Cards that are [[not yet legal]] cannot be used in official Duels in a region yet, but eventually will be usable. Normally this only applies to cards that are not yet released.
+* [[Legal]] - the card can be used in an official Duel. Since all Forbidden, Limited, Semi-Limited, and Unlimited cards are also legal, this status is reserved on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia for legal cards that are not also any of the above four statuses. (This applies mainly for release [[Token Monster]]s; see the [[legal]] article for more information.)
+* [[Illegal]] - the card is not and never will be legal anywhere. All official illegal cards have [[Limitation Text]] present on the card, usually stating "This card cannot be used in a Duel".
+* [[Not Legal]] - the card is only legal in certain regions; outside of those regions, they are considered [[not legal]] (see the article for more information).
+* [[Not Yet Released]] - the card has a confirmed future release date. Any copies that may be leaked will be not be considered legal until then.
+* [[Not Yet Legal]] - the card has been officially released but will not be considered legal until some time in the future.
