Template:Work in progress/doc

Description

This template is marks pages that are currently being worked on to avoid edit conflicts, etc. It also provides a convenient link to the talk/discussion section of the currently viewed page.

Generally, it should be removed once the page is not actively being worked on. It should be removed from pages that have been tagged as works in progress for a long time since there is no work in progress on the page. This tag might discourage others from improving the page.

For cleanup issues, use a {{Cleanup}} template instead, with an edit summary indicating what needs cleanup.
