Remove support for WIP prefix in merge requests
Problem
WIP limits are being added to issue boards #11403 (closed) which creates a naming collision with WIP (Work In Progress) merge requests.
Furthermore, WIP merge requests are frequently used to mean "this MR is a draft, please don't merge" even though they are complete and ready for review.
#32692 (closed) introduced the ability to use either draft
or wip
prefixes, however, we want to deprecate and remove wip
Proposal
Remove support for wip
as a prefix for MRs and use draft
as the only term to indicate a work in progress.
Backend
-
Remove WIP quick actions -
Drop support for WIP:
and variations of this title prefix -
Replace usage of WIP in the API - GraphQL API updates have a separate issue: #321892 (closed)
Frontend
-
Remove the quick toggle on the MR Form to add/remove WIP[:] prefix
