# Pull Request

## "Work In Progress" pull requests

Marking a pull request as being a work in progress will prevent that pull request from being accidentally merged. To mark a pull request as being a work in progress, you must prefix its title by `WIP:` or `[WIP]` (case insensitive). Those values are configurable in your `app.ini` file :

```ini
[repository.pull-request]
WORK_IN_PROGRESS_PREFIXES=WIP:,[WIP]
```

The first value of the list will be used in helpers.

## Pull Request Templates

You can find more information about pull request templates at the page [Issue and Pull Request templates](../issue-pull-request-templates).
