  I understand the desire for this. One thing that I've noticed that perhaps isn't exactly the same issue is that when I change the name of an article, the text of references to it in other articles does not change. It seems like it should, or at least there should be an easy way to change it in bulk.

  You can still do this with variables. Make a "Text, Advanced" variable, copy the article block or the article link of the article you want to add, and then when you put it in the text box for the variable, a window pops up when you mouse over the variable link that let's you click to go to the article. Alternatively, you could do a link type variable, just use the actual URL for the article rather than the @thing. The link variable will work and look exactly like a normal article reference.   This would allow you to name the variable whatever you want, put placeholder notes, etc. You could also make a placeholder article, put the link in a link variable, and then just edit the title of the variable once your article was complete.

  There are already placeholder articles. Refer to the "MENTIONING A NON-EXISTING ARTICLE" section in this codex article.   https://www.worldanvil.com/w/WorldAnvilCodex/a/mention-system#:~:text=On%20World%20Anvil%20it%20is,are%20shown%20as%20you%20type.   You can also just click the plus button in the bottom right corner to create an article while you are writing on another article.

  This would be really useful to me as I often only have a vague idea of what something is going to be. I'm also a huge perfectionist so once I create an article I want to complete it entirely, which often isn't possible and messes up my workflow. Placeholder articles would take that pressure off and make the process easier for me.

  Use variables? I've used those for a temporary name that I wanted to be able to change later.

  World Anvil isn't Obsidian. You can already achieve what you want by using variables. Though we'll need a better way to edit them in the future.
