Template talk:Confusing

message: Who wrote this template? It's horribly worded. Get rid of the "for some readers" bit. Every article will be confusing to somebody, somewhere. Maelin (Talk | Contribs) 14:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "for some readers" ? 

message: . . .it is accompanied by explanation of what is confusing and why. All it says is that someone, somewhere, didn't understand some part of the article, which could have any number of causes: 
*maybe the writing is abstruse and/or jargon-filled 
*maybe the organization is incoherent
*maybe the topic requires a certain amount of background knowledge to understand (e.g. many mathematics articles)
*maybe the author didn't really understand the topic in the first place and is thus incapable of enlightening anyone else 
*or maybe the tagger lacks basic literacy.

thread_title:  this tag is useless unless. . . 

message: The prior intent of this tag-box (for years) was to link to the page that describes how to clarify text: "Wikipedia:Please clarify" (in 2007). Since then, that page about clarification had become un-clarified by people who added unclear wording that needed clarification about clarification steps. Naturally, that complication of the page was bound to happen, as perhaps a cosmic joke that the clarification steps would become unclear. However, I reworded that page to clarify the steps, and relinked that page as the advice for how-to clarify text. It is now very useful. All done. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Relinked to how-to clarify

message: I'm getting here when using { {simplify} }. 
I was expecting to see a template about making text simpler, as in using less difficult words and concepts. Perhaps not to the point of using Simple English, but in that direction! 
This one is about making text more clear, and that's arguably the opposite! (because when you simplify, you might replace technical terms with less precise but more commonly known terms)
I would like the simplify tag to point to a more appropriate template. Now, I'm off to find such a template! CapnZapp (talk) 15:30, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  simplify redirect 

message: Please add
| small =   
on a new line just below 
:"| class = ambox-confusing" 
to allow section styling and small selection.

message: As well as or even instead of calling for the REASON for the confusion please could someone add the parameter: TALK to this template so that users can refer editors directly to the relevant section of the Talk page?  
IMO this parameter should be available for all templates.  I am frustrated both as a reader by the merely unhelpful note in the tag that there MAY BE a discussion on the Talk page, and as an editor unable to refer editors to the discussion I have added to the Talk page.

replies: text:  @Redrose64, thanks, great, and good for me to know, but would you then pls add this information to the Template's description so that editors generally can be aware of it?  Thanks LookingGlass (talk) 10:29, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
