The Bug:
Gamerule description strings within the world creation menu consist of inconsistent concluding punctuation.
At the end of some gamerule description strings, sometimes punctuation is present, and sometimes it isn't, therefore introducing an inconsistency.

Take note as to whether or not gamerule description strings within the world creation menu consist of inconsistent concluding punctuation.
Observed Behavior:
Gamerule description strings sometimes contain concluding punctuation and sometimes don't.
Expected Behavior:
All gamerule description strings would contain concluding punctuation.
I disagree with adding a period to the end of each of these strings, as the majority aren't valid sentences.
In fact, the only valid full sentences are:
Some entities might have separate rules.
Angered neutral mobs stop being angry when the targeted player dies nearby.
Angered neutral mobs attack any nearby player, not just the player that angered them.
The rest lack a subject (because they refer back to the button/title)
of course "etc." has a period because it's an abbreviation, not because it happens to end the string
