When creating new articles with multiple sections it is often convenient to start with the section headers (in the manner of an outline), then fill them individually. It would be irksome to have them removed before one gets to filling them! Therefore automatic removal should allow a grace period for new sections, and respect any tags indicating the article or section is under construction (see following proposal).

It wouldnt change the default behavior, but in cases where the user is knowingly needing to remove either the contents of or the entire section across multiple articles (External links, gallery sections are examples) as part of a cleanup process the adding the templates is annoying.
