Bugs with parsing quotes in reason

[edit]

Using quotation marks (U+0022 quotation mark) pronounces a HTML title attribute of "What (first word of the reason with suspiciously added quotation mark at beginning of the line): {{Elucidate|reason=What is the difference between "default" and "custom" Web sites?|date=October 2016}}.

Using HTML quote element (<q>quote</q>) results in the span element with title attribute being spilled and without quotes: [<span title="What is the difference between default and custom Web sites? (October 2016)">further explanation needed] {{Elucidate|reason=What is the difference between <q>default</q> and <q>custom<q> Web sites?|date=October 2016}}.

Added a variant of this template with text wrap

[edit]
h1 h2
test1[further explanation needed] test2[further explanation needed]

Because "[further explanation needed]" without text wrap makes table columns a bit unwieldy.

Category Wikipedia articles needing clarification,

[edit]

The man states that pages with this {{Explain}} are added to Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification.

But looking at Category:Wikipedia articles needing clarification page, there is a list of template there. And Explain is not among them. --Mezze stagioni (talk) 17:52, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Make inline display more concise

[edit]

Currently, the inline template displays "Further explanation needed", which seems very lengthy. Can somebody change what it displays so that it is shorter? JsfasdF252 (talk) 23:32, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What if too terse?

[edit]

What template is appropriate for text that is at the correct level but is too terse and omits relevant information. {{clarify}}? {{elucidate}}? {{explain}}? Other? --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 12:37, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
