As Go > Templates opens a dialog box, it should have three dots following it to indicate this.

Patch can be provided, if alex has finished with his menu work.

You can check "dont show again" (I guess most users will do so after clicking templates the second time)

After that, templates will not show the box any more. In that case IMO the dots would be misleading.

Optional dots IMO would be overengenerring .. actually I think best would be to just keep the current state.

Yes you definitely can check the 'dont show again', but seeing the three dots the first time would let you know that there is a dialog that will appear. I saw the entry and never bothered to try clicking it assuming that there was no difference to it.

Yes in that scenario, it would then become misleading.

Lets here another opinion and then decide.

@Theo: What is your take?

<brainwash> that dialog is only informational though
<brainwash> I wouldn't add dots to the menu label

The width of the dialog window could be reduced though.

Ops, overlooked that one, thanks for the hint !
400px already looks a bit pressed IMO. I pushed 600px now.
