Comment (by jrf):

 @pento Thanks, that does make it clearer.

 One further improvement suggestion regarding the wording:

 -/- `Percentage wildcards (for example, to use in LIKE syntax) must be
 passed in the string argument, it cannot be inserted in the query string.`

 +/+ `Percentage wildcards (for example, to use in LIKE syntax) must be
 passed via a substitution argument containing the complete LIKE string,
 these cannot be inserted directly in the query string. Also see {@see
 esc_like()}.`

 /cc @GaryJ Is that phrasing clear enough or have you got a better
 suggestion ?
