Bugs with parsing quotes in reason
editUsing 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,
editThe 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)
Make inline display more concise
editCurrently, 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)
What if too terse?
editWhat 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)
