	 *     $wpdb-&gt;prepare( 'WHERE `%1$s` = &quot;%2$s something %3$s&quot; OR %1$s = &quot;%4$-10s&quot;', 'field_1', 'a', 'b', 'c' );

	 *
	 *     $wpdb-&gt;prepare( 'WHERE (id = %1s) OR (id = %2$s)', $_GET['id'], $_GET['id'] ); // ?id=id
	 *
	 * This feature is preserved while plugin authors update their code to use safer approaches:
	 *
	 *     $_GET['key'] = 'a`b';
	 *
	 *     $wpdb-&gt;prepare( 'WHERE %1s = %s',        $_GET['key'], $_GET['value'] ); // WHERE a`b = 'value'

	 *
	 *     $wpdb-&gt;prepare( 'WHERE %i = %s',         $_GET['key'], $_GET['value'] ); // WHERE `a``b` = 'value'
	 *
	 * While changing to false will be fine for queries not using formatted/argnum placeholders,
	 * any remaining cases are most likely going to result in SQL errors (good, in a way):
	 *
	 *     $wpdb-&gt;prepare( 'WHERE %1$s = &quot;%2$-10s&quot;', 'my_field', 'my_value' );
	 *     true  = WHERE my_field = &quot;my_value  &quot;
	 *     false = WHERE 'my_field' = &quot;'my_value  '&quot;
	 *
	 * But there may be some queries that result in an SQL Injection vulnerability:
	 *
	 *     $wpdb-&gt;prepare( 'WHERE id = %1$s', $_GET['id'] ); // ?id=id
	 *
	 * So there may need to be a `_doing_it_wrong()` phase, after we know everyone can use

	 *
	 * Literal percentage signs (`%`) in the query string must be written as `%%`. Percentage wildcards

	 *
	 * @since 2.3.0
	 * @since 5.3.0 Formalized the existing and already documented `...$args` parameter
	 *              by updating the function signature. The second parameter was changed

	 *              Check support via `wpdb::has_cap( 'identifier_placeholders' )`.
