It is greet text meaning it disappears as soon as the editor starts type - it doesn't have to be a catchy slogan, i.e. it can be longer like a full sentence. —

How about making it slightly more explicit that suggestions are supposed to be related to article editing? something like "Suggest an edit or voice a concern" or "suggest an improvement or voice a concern"? Also do wikilinks work within this interface page (and are they clickable?) if so including something like "(
Help)" at the end of the message might help reduce the number of off-topic comments and address issues with talk page banners not being shown on mobile (the help page would need some modifications to explain the mobile editing experience).

"suggest an edit" is linguistically correct but "edit" used as a noun in this sense, while a familiar term for Wikimedians, may be confusing for outsiders. I see no clear improvement in clarity or ambiguity for "suggest an improvement" instead of "make a suggestion". Both of these would be inappropriate on user talk pages, and Mobile-frontend-talk-add-overlay-content-placeholder is used both on article talk and user talk. — Alexis Jazz (
