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)]
