+## This printf format string has no variables. Other arguments are ignored.
+
+### Problematic code:
+
+```sh
+place="world"
+printf hello $place
+```
+
+### Correct code:
+
+```sh
+place="world"
+printf "hello %s\n" "$place"
+```
+### Rationale:
+
+ShellCheck has noticed that you're using a `printf` with multiple arguments, but where the first argument has no `%s` or equivalent variable placeholders.
+
+`echo` accepts zero or more strings to write, e.g. `echo hello world`.
+
+`printf` instead accepts one pattern/template with zero or more `%s`-style placeholders, and one argument for each placeholder.
+
+Rewrite your command using the right semantics, otherwise all arguments after the first one will be ignored:
+
+    $ printf hello world\\n
+    hello
+
+    $ printf "hello world\n"
+    hello world
+
+    $ printf "hello %s\n" "world"
+    hello world
+
+### Exceptions:
+
+None.
