9928	Add filter on 'post_stati' for pages	coffee2code		"Currently for posts, in `wp_edit_posts_query()` (in `wp-admin/includes/post.php`) the various available post statuses are defined in an array `$post_stati` which is filterable via the `post_stati` filter.

For pages, the `$post_stati` array is defined in `wp-admin/edit-pages.php` in global space, though otherwise much like how is done for posts, except that the array is NOT passed through a filter.

Since the array is not filterable (or otherwise able to be intercepted) for pages, it is not currently possible to handle filtering pages by post_status in the same way other post statuses (Published, Scheduled, Pending Review, Drafts, Private) are handled.

The attached patch adds this simple filter.

There are other changes that are necessary to make custom post statuses easier to define and use, but this is one thing that cannot currently be done (at least not without breaking UI consistency).

A sample test:

On a 2.8 install, create a page.  Via direct access to the database, change the post_status of the page from 'publish' to 'reject'.  View the listing of pages in the WP admin.  The ""All"" link correctly counts that page, but it is not listed in the count of any of the displayed post_statuses along the top of the listing.

Currently there is no way to add the new post status to that visual listing of post statuses.  For posts, this can be done by filtering `post_stati`.  If the same filter is installed for pages (i.e. applying the associated patch), the following example code will work to add the new post status for pages:

In the theme's functions.php (or a plugin), add the following:
{{{
add_filter('post_stati', 'add_post_status', 10, 2);
function add_post_status($post_stati, $type = 'post') {
	if ( 'page' == $type )
		$post_stati['reject'] = array(_x('Rejected', 'page'), __('Rejected pages'), _nx_noop('Rejected <span class=""count"">(%s)</span>', 'Rejected <span class=""count"">(%s)</span>', 'page'));
	return $post_stati;
}
}}}

""Rejected"" will now be displayed as one of the post statuses for pages, along with a count of pages that have that status.

(Note: Clicking on the status will send the proper `post_status=reject` query arg/val, but the results of doing so aren't properly handled by WP at the moment, but at least it can be made correct by hooking into existing filters and actions.)
