You '''MUST''' replace the [[:Category:Font wishlist]] tag with:
* [[:Category:In-progress fonts]] for a font being worked on, but not available in Fedora yet. Typically in packaging review stage.
* [[:Category:Packaged fonts]] for a packaged font, available in Fedora.
* [[:Category:Rejected and retired fonts]] for a font we decided not to package after review, or removed from current Fedora repositories for some other reason.
Don't forget to remove the ''« : »'' before ''« Category »'' to activate a particular category tag.}}
