The status script from the dev wiki is not like a Discord or Facebook chat status feature. The script is limited to using MediaWiki and MediaWiki does not provide a means of checking whether or not a user is online. What the script does is check the activity logs and then guess the user's status based on their last activity. If a user has not done a logged event within the specified time frame, then they are shown as offline even if they are indeed actively on the wiki. For instance, if the user hasn't edited within the last 24 hours but is currently in Chat, the status script will still show them as offline.
