+# "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:`.
+

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