[edit] More information?

Is there a reason this template doesn't allow more detail on what is needed to be clarified? E.g.

{{clarifyme|This is confusing because it appears to suggest that lorem ipsum dolor blah blah blah....}}

I'd envision using this where the clarificatory detail can be expressed in a way that makes sense to most readers of the page and in a way that is useful to them (even if it's not encyclopedic prose), rather than relegating it to the talk page where most readers will never see it.

It's an inline template: Too much detail inline and it vandalises the article, unless you do summat clever with popups. Adam Cuerden talk 09:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand what "do summat clever" means, but agree with what I believe to be the gist of that. If such functionality was added it would need to put the text into the hover-over popup feature, not into the rendered text of the template. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 15:14, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
