I still think this should be changed to include page. A-like so.

This page/section is in progress.
As always, you are welcome to assist by editing this page/section, but be aware that another user is currently adding and/or changing substantial content.

Never mind, thank you, It's dot com. smileyface.PNG11945 (Talk/Ctrbs) 23:11, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't notice the difference between {{pageinprogress}} and {{inprogress}} when the former was up for deletion and then redirection. "pageinprogress" has been un-redirected, as you have already seen. :) — It's dot com 23:12, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
The color of one of them should probably be changed, just to differentiate. I'll do that to pageinprogress. smileyface.PNG11945 (Talk/Ctrbs) 23:16, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
A think a reminder to remove when done for whoever put the notice up might be nice to put back given the change in the template's wording. Hi, and Good night! --Stux 07:42, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

This tag is not a claim

Far too often recently I have seen this tag or its cousin the {{pageinprogress}} tag be used to stake a claim to a section or page, but with no intention of actually adding or changing content right then. That's not what these tags are for. They are a temporary hold designed solely to avoid edit conflicts. If someone puts a tag on a page and then leaves it for hours and obviously either is not editing the wiki or is editing other, unrelated pages, then the tag should be removed so that someone else can make the proper edits. I have added some verbiage to encourage the correct use of these templates. — It's dot com 20:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
