Marge has been stabilised

[Matthew Pickering]

As far as I can work out the WIP field is a part of the semantic model
but the only way it displays on the UI is in the title.

Two other facets of the WIP state are:

1. WIP MRs can't be merged via the UI. (Marge also honours this)
2. The list of MRs can be filtered by the WIP status (which is that I
use it for).

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/work_in_progress_merge_requests.html

Your page is very helpful Simon. If you have any more questions then
I'll try to answer.

Cheers,

Matt

You can enter these commands while creating a new issue or merge request, or in comments of issues, epics, merge requests, and commits. Each command should be on a separate line in order to be properly detected and executed. Once executed, the commands are removed from the text body and not visible to anyone else.
