Comment (by sabernhardt):

 I think `localhost` is good as a default host value, too, not a
 placeholder.

 [https://wordpress.org/support/article/hardening-wordpress/#security-
 through-obscurity Changing the table prefix has been recommended] for
 security, but a default value of `wp_` gives a suggestion for anyone who
 wants something else. Besides, the input field's `prefix-desc` description
 text includes "change this" as an option.

 Also, these fields do not have `required` attributes.
