Please use edit summaries, especially when editing templates
Hello. Thank you for
your contributions to
Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an
edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be
quite brief.
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a
Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences →
Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button.
Thanks! (This note is in reference to
this edit, which broke syntax in dozens of pages.) –

The meaning of the above message is: If you are going to deliberately break a template's syntax, affecting hundreds of articles, at least explain why you are doing it. I have
fixed the template for you; please update its documentation to explain which template calls it (maybe {{PH wikidata}}?} and what its five parameters do. Documentation is important in all types of programming, but especially in projects where code is shared and developed communally. Thanks. –
