In Ingress, there generally isn’t an advantage to how titles or descriptions end - I don’t think adding a “.” would do anything. There are strategic differences in the beginning - such as “Wildflower Park,” “Wildflower Park Playground,” “Wildflower Park Little Free Library,” “Wildflower Park…” being a way to have “Portal Keys” sorted alphabetically vs as @cyndiepooh noted it may mean Gyms or Stops in PoGO having the unique part of the title cut off on the game screen.
This isn’t meant to nitpick - just let you know a bit more since I know you don’t play.
Lucky you 
I think this is pretty uncommon from what I’m hearing from other contributors.
Maybe because (and I know what was said elsewhere) it really isn’t a bug or one they think needs “fixed.”
