All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIV
RE: All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIV
Umbire brought this to my attention: we appear to have imported a template, {{clarify}}, from Wikipedia without adapting it to our needs. All it currently does is try to provide a link to a non-existent Wikipedia page called "Please clarify". Wikipedia's own "Clarify" template is more like a "Asking just for clarification is too vague, here are our specific templates for different kinds of clarification" page than anything else.

So... what do we want our Clarify template to do? Mimic Wikipedia? Or just go to a page that says, basically, "You're being obscure, stop it"?

EDIT: Actually, Wikipedia does have a Project-level "Please clarify" page, which is obviously the intended target of the {{clarify}} template. We can probably crib a lot of its content for our own page.
