If the "description" field for TemplateData is empty, clicking the help/information button (an i with a circle around it) for the parameter produces a very skinny, empty box. Nothing should be displayed when there is no description to display. Alternatively, it's possible that some standard text could be put in the box, like "There is no description for this item".
I thought we had disabled these, but apparently not. Bah.
If the parameter is required, I do get 'Field is required.' which should be shown still. But if it's not required, then the help/information button is disabled... No empty box.
WhatamIdoing, can you perhaps give an example page where it does this?
Open the infobox in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberystwyth and look at the parameter "os_grid_reference". The original report is at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=610519258#Info_on_template_fields
The description is set as a single space for this parameter, so I think this is expected behaviour.
Ah: the TemplateData at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_UK_place/doc#TemplateData says, "os_grid_reference": { "label": "os grid reference", "description": " ", "type": "string", "required": false }, If it said this instead, "os_grid_reference": { "label": "os grid reference", "description": "", "type": "string", "required": false }, or perhaps this: "os_grid_reference": { "label": "os grid reference", "type": "string", "required": false }, (if it's permitted to omit the description item), then this should go away.
