         This method is for shifting the values of datetime-like indexes
         by a specified time increment a given number of times.
 
         Parameters
         ----------
-        periods : int
+        periods : int, default 1
             Number of periods (or increments) to shift by,
-            can be positive or negative (default is 1).
-        freq : pandas.DateOffset, pandas.Timedelta or string
-            Frequency increment to shift by (default is None).
+            can be positive or negative.
+        freq : pandas.DateOffset, pandas.Timedelta or string, optional
+            Frequency increment to shift by.
             If None, the index is shifted by its own `freq` attribute.
             Offset aliases are valid strings, e.g., 'D', 'W', 'M' etc.
