To my mind, in the default output notification "The specific problem is: … Please help …", a period should be added before Please help. (Please be so kind as to ping me when answering. Thanks a lot in advance!) Regards--Hildeoc (talk) 20:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC) Hildeoc (talk) 20:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not done:Hildeoc, A few years ago the template was updated so that the |reason= parameter became mandatory. The first example given in the doc shows the use of a full stop. Including a default full stop would mess up the presentation when someone has a more puzzled reason? or a more emphatic reason! If you feel it's not made clear, please update the documentation.

With regard to transclusions of this template, I would recommend adding a period at the end of the reason= parameter, so as to make sure a period is rendered by default before the subsequent parameter default phrases, which bar none seem to begin with capitals (e. g. "Please help improve this article if you can" or "Relevant discussion may be found …").--Hildeoc (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC) Hildeoc (talk) 19:29, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth: I was surprised to see it display improperly on the draft, as I haven't seem anything display improperly in articlespace in a long time. Thanks for the explanation of the difference. GoingBatty (talk) 16:59, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
