I love that you've rewritten the Battle Status "statuses". They definitely benefit from being organized into Single and Multi-turn. I do have some issues, though...

But first, can I just edit this page? (Since it's in your userspace, I think(?) I should get your permission first.) For some of my issues ("improvements", I would call them), I think it would just be easier if I edited what I had a problem with and if it turns out to be a problem we can discuss it.

Okay then, the bigger issues...

1) The biggest (and excuse the mild language): What the hell is a "battle status"?? The block of text you have at the top is nearly an exact copy of the text at the top of the Volatile status section of Status Conditions. I have not anywhere seen any proper explanation as to what a battle status actually is, nor does any readily suggest itself to me. What is actually so special about all the things on this page that collectively differentiates them from all the stuff labeled a "Volatile status" (and makes them worth a whole dedicated article or even section)?

2) IMO, "Pumped" is just a stat boost like Swords Dance; it's not at all special and has no place being labeled a special "status". Why do you think otherwise? (Or have you actually thought about it?)

(If I actually knew what a "battle status" was supposed to be, I might also be able to understand why "Pumped" is (or isn't) a proper "battle status" and Swords Dance isn't.)
