See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/76235.

Please consider allowing a help character, such as `?' or `C-h', to give
users more info about y/n prompting - info that might help with this
user's confusion (maybe some info such as that offered by NickD's
answer).

Consider, in particular, the context of hitting a key for a disabled
command (the OP's context), and seeing the Help text for dealing with
disabled commands, including a link that is impossible to access while
in the y/n read.
