Marge has been stabilised

If you want to change the status using the UI (not via a "quick action") do you literally edit the title?  That is, the semantics is driven from the title string itself?  Or do you do something else in the UI?

|  
|  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).
