This is old but still bumping this.

Why hasn't the hiatus and discontinued added till now. I have been burned by Orange and Iris Zero. I don't like reading a story if there isn't a possibility of reading a conclusion. I know there is a support club but the status on the manga page will be better.

Thanks for bumping the thread, alanwake.

This is the first time I see this thread, but I totally agree with it and have had the same idea myself.
A lot of Manga series like to go on a so-called Hiatus, and such a status would be brilliant to have, IMHO. :)

Because Crave has abandoned the site and is only interested in the million dollars MAL generates annually in advertising, obviously.
In the replies you can see that Kineta, currently the highest staff member in MAL supported this suggestion wholeheartedly almost half a decade ago and nothing was done because Crave doesn't care. The only suggestion Crave will ever consider is new ways to put even more ads in MAL, and even then it will be incredibly difficult to get their attention because they always ignore what the community and even the staff have to say. They simply couldn't care less about this site.

I know this is a very minute thing but I think that many will enjoy this as they can put manga such as HxH and Berserk in there. This might have already been suggested, I just thought of the idea and thought I would share.

I thinks he/she means that next to the manga title should be "On Hiatus" just like we have "Airing" and "Not Yet Aired" for anime

Nope, the OP wants a "Hiatus" tab but we do already have the "On-Hold" tab. Your suggestion is practicable though.

In addition, I would like to see specific rules set down to determine when a manga should be switched from publishing to completed due to hiatus. I was told a while back that OAVs get switched to completed if they go more than a year without a new episode.

I think there should be a similiar system in place for manga. DNAngel was on hiatus for nearly 5 years before it was marked as complete and I could mark it completed on my list. The Haruhi Suzumiya novels has been on hiatus for nearly 5 years as well and I won't be able to mark them complete.

Manga/novels can be changed back to publishing if a new chapter or volume is released easily enough so I don't see any reason why a one or two year limit can't be implemented before they are marked complete, if only so stuff doesn't sit in our on hold for half a decade.

You could submit information about a manga being on-hiatus as a background info.

But it'd be great if MAL had statuses for scanlations and stuff like that.

I definitely agree with this being added. Makes keeping track of manga a lot easier when it comes to figuring out if a manga is actually "on going" or not; but I feel like something like this might require confirmation from the authors themselves.

The God Eater anime would benefit from it, it stopped airing on episode 9 and there are still 4 more episodes to be aired. I like this feature as it'd help users decide whether they want to watch a particular anime/read a particular manga or not. Going through 200 episodes of some anime and finding out that the ending isn't too likely to be ever aired may be a quite unpleasant experience.

I also think an "unfinished" status could be useful, but it's not quite as important of a change.

Makes sense for series with almost indefinite hiatuses like X or Nana where MAL just lists them as completed when they are not.

It should be allowed to be placed on the completed list but a status with 'hiatus' will be displayed alongside it similar to the 'publishing' one.

Maybe the timeframe could be a 6 months or something before it is listed as hiatus?

There needs to be a 'cancelled' status too. Final Fantasy XI: The Out of Orders was cancelled but MAL says its still publishing when its not.

So I have quite a couple of mangas that I'm planning to read, but I know that some of them are on a indefinited period of silence (in other words, on hiatus).

For example, The manga Real and Sunabouzu are on hiatus. I think they should have this instead of "publishing", as well as other mangas on the same situation.

It's rather surprising that this hasn't been implemented yet, because I'm sure I've seen a thread suggesting this almost 3 years ago (the thread was already 3/4 years old at the time, I think). Anyway, agreed especially considering that the "Currently Publishing" status would be inaccurate for such series. Could also add a notification for this.
