WIP Update PR template to inform about using Drafts instead of WIP - #8922

Should link to the help docs instead of the announcement blog? https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/#draft-pull-requests

Yes, good idea, thanks. I changed it to that

Our org doesn't support PR drafts and GitHub says they don't plan on supporting them. I've asked GitHub to update the documentation.

Could you elaborate, Travis Plunk (@TravisEz13)?

It sounds like you're saying there's a requirement for them to be allowed, but GH have mentioned nothing of the sort that I've been able to find.

Additionally, it appears TylerLeonhardt was able to submit a draft PR (#8923) to this repo?

We should wait like a month or 2 before getting this in. I just got Draft PRs yesterday.

Or perhaps, Christoph Bergmeister (@bergmeister) you should call out that "if you don't have this capability yet, put "WIP" in the title

I also only got it today, we can definitely wait until the feature has fully rolled out (I was under the impression that the rollout is on a per repository rather than a per user basis, can anyone confirm that?).
Since they haven't implemented the feature to change a published PR back to a draft, I'll put the good ol' WIP tag on again

I just hope it wont be as slow as the GitHub Actions rollout 😶

Sends PR to inform about using Drafts instead of WIP

Uses WIP

😛

GitHub is saying that they won't be supporting organizations that are paying on old billing plans and that you must upgrade to a new billing plan to use the feature.

Although, I just looked and it seems they changed their mind and didn't email me.

Well, I am on the free plan and have actually submitted this PR initially as a draft just to get a feeling for myself how it looks like before I published it.

The docs here say:

I emailed back and asked for clarification, but I think we can assume that they decided excluding older billing plans was a bad idea.

And they are talking about the PowerShell organization's billing plan, not the plan of the user submitting the PR.

Currently we can put WIP and remove it in any time. Does the Draft feature support switching to draft and reverse in any time?

That's a good question. I don't see anything about going from PR -> Draft PR

No... Once a Draft PR becomes a real PR you cannot make it a Draft PR. And a PR created as a real PR, cannot be made a draft.

I would recommend contacting GitHub support and giving this feedback.

Travis Plunk (@TravisEz13) I sent the feedback to GitHub.

Should we leave some info about 'use WIP for going back to draft state' or just ask the author to do so in special cases?

I suggest to continue using WIP until we get full-featured Draft.

If it's available we may as well make use of it, and just use WIP alongside until Drafts get more features.

Steve Lee (@SteveL-MSFT) you should probably give an opinion here.

Drafts have the advantage that people aren't notified to review. I think we should suggest people use drafts, and use WIP only to move back to a similar state.

I think it's fine to have both Draft and WIP co-existing for now. Once we see that Drafts are working as a replacement for WIP, we can consider removing WIP support.
