There should really be a rule on the workinprogress template. I saw a strategy with the template, and it was left there when the original user got inactive. It was left alone for ages mostly because you don't just remove the template, especially since it will cause edit conflict.

I just think that when a user puts up the template, they hog the page. It's an entirely abusable power (like putting it in every time you edit). Most of the time, if you are doing several minor edits, a bot or the find-replace feature in ve (Ctrl + f for se editors ) is preferable, and if you are starting a new section, just start on Notepad and copy-paste the section. It seems really selfish and redundant to do that. It also forces you to do a spammy-like minor edit just for the template.

 tl;dr 

It's just that, if we are using the wip template, we do have to at least modify the message and make it so that there are rules to the use of it. At least a mention of edit conflicts. Please? And btw can some1 close this soon as well?
