"Work In Progress" Merge Requests

To prevent merge requests from accidentally being accepted before they're completely ready, GitLab blocks the "Accept" button for merge requests that have been marked a Work In Progress.

To mark a merge request a Work In Progress, simply start its title with [WIP] or WIP:. As an alternative, you're also able to do it by sending a commit with its title starting with wip or WIP to the merge request's source branch.

To allow a Work In Progress merge request to be accepted again when it's ready, simply remove the WIP prefix.
