Hi there. The {{t|transcriptinprogress}} template is put on the transcript to alert users that someone is actively working on the transcript, and asks people not to edit unless it's absolutely necessary to avoid edit conflicting the person working on it. Minor errors with the transcript are not absolutely necessary to fix immediately, and many transcribers do a second run to weed out their mistakes from the first run. A better idea is to wait until the transcript is done and the tag is removed, then correct everything you see all at once, rather than annoying the person working on it. Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:23, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

"Transcript cleaning"

Hi there. The {{transcriptinprogress}} template is put on the transcript to alert users that someone is actively working on the transcript, and asks people not to edit unless it's absolutely necessary to avoid edit conflicting the person working on it. Minor errors with the transcript are not absolutely necessary to fix immediately, and many transcribers do a second run to weed out their mistakes from the first run. A better idea is to wait until the transcript is done and the tag is removed, then correct everything you see all at once, rather than annoying the person working on it.
