Template talk:Work in progress

Reserving an article?
I strongly dislike this template. I never noticed it before today; but it strikes me as very un-wiki like in trying to reserve an article for an unspecified amount of time for a single user to edit the article. The central concept of a wiki is that multiple authors can make edits. If a major re-write is being worked on, I would suggest either doing it in stages, by section; or create a draft re-write in a user space. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 11:14, 8 August 2006 (CDT)
