-**Q: The EOS/EOT token is incorrectly being masked or not being masked.**
+**Q: The EOS token is incorrectly being masked or not being masked / `EOS token __ not found in chat template`.**
 
-> A: This is because of the mismatch between `tokenizer.eos_token` and EOS/EOT token in template. Please make sure to set `eos_token` under `special_tokens` to the same EOS/EOT token as in template.
+> A: There can be two reasons:
+
+> 1. This is because of the mismatch between `tokenizer.eos_token` and EOS token in template. Please make sure to set `eos_token: ` under `special_tokens: ` to the same EOS token as in template.
+
+> 2. The EOS token is not in the template. Please check if your template is correct. As an example, `phi_35` template does not use its dedicated EOS token `<|endoftext|>` at the end.
 
 **Q: "`chat_template` choice is `tokenizer_default` but tokenizer's `chat_template` is null. Please add a `chat_template` in tokenizer config"**
 
 > A: This is because the tokenizer does not have a chat template. Please add a chat template in the tokenizer config. See [chat_template](dataset-formats/conversation.qmd#chat-template) for more details.
+
+**Q: The EOT token(s) are incorrectly being masked or not being masked / `EOT token __ not found in chat template`.**
+
+> A: There can be two reasons:
+
+> 1. The EOT token is different from the EOS token and was not specified under `eot_tokens: `. Please set `eot_tokens: ` to the same EOT token(s) as in template.
+
+> 2. There is more than one EOT token per turn in the template. Please raise an issue with examples as we recognize this as an edge case.
+
+**Q: `EOT token encoding failed. Please check if the token is valid and can be encoded.`**
+
+> A: There could be some issue with the tokenizer or unicode encoding. Please raise an issue with examples with the EOT token & tokenizer causing the issue.
+
+**Q: `EOT token __ is encoded as multiple tokens.`**
+
+> A: This is because the EOT token is encoded as multiple tokens which can cause unexpected behavior. Please add it under `tokens: ` or (recommended) override unused added_tokens via `added_tokens_overrides: `.
+
+**Q: `Conflict between train_on_eos and train_on_eot. eos_token is in eot_tokens and train_on_eos != train_on_eot`**
+
+> A: This is because the EOS token is in the `eot_tokens: ` while mismatch between `train_on_eos: ` and `train_on_eot: `. This will cause one to override the other. Please ensure that `train_on_eos: ` and `train_on_eot: ` are the same or remove the EOS token from `eot_tokens: `.
+
+**Q: If `eot_tokens: ` is not provided, what happens?**
+
+> A: If `eot_tokens: ` is not provided, the default behavior is the same as before. EOS tokens used to delimit turns are masked/unmasked depending on whether the turn is trainable.
+
+> Internally, `eot_tokens: tokenizer.eos_token` and `train_on_eot: train_on_eos` (which defaults to `turn`). This transition helps clarify the naming and behavior of EOT/EOS tokens.
