Comment (by brothman01):

 @amboutwe yes, however sometimes there is no error message (such as when a
 plugin not showing the information it should, when there is a styling
 issue, etc) so we should modify '[Question in one or two sentences]' and
 change it to '[Question in one or two sentences + error message (if
 applicable)]'

 @Howdy_McGee Adding more fields would make this more complicated, but like
 you said adding placeholder text is probably the right move so that adds
 no complication and is optional.

 @webdevmattcrom You are right that some users may just leave the
 placeholder text, but we can assume that the majority, or even just a lot
 of people asking the questions will want good answers to their questions
 and so will replace the placeholder text.  But you bring up a good point
 and so maybe we should add a disclaimer or something before the text field
 that says something like 'the more information you give by replacing
 placeholder text, the more likely someone will be able to give you a good
 and helpful answer.'?

 So the template so far seems to be as follows (if anyone has ANYTHING to
 add or change I would love to add it):

 Disclaimer: The more information you give by replacing placeholder text,
 the more likely someone will be able to give you a good and helpful
 answer. (before the input field)
 [Question in one or two sentences + error message (if applicable)]
 [Expected behavior vs. actual behavior]
 [link to site/page demonstrating problem]
 [What you tried]
 [steps to reproduce (if possible)]
