Template:Use list-defined references does not produce any visible text, just as Template:Use dmy dates, which also isn't placed in the multiple issues template. These templates don't report issues, they are hidden templates that let editors (or bots) what the style of the page is.

Adding my voice to this also. I'm not a fan of this mismatch style. I'm trying to figure out (unsuccessfully) why Wikipedia:Requests for comment has a space when it doesn't seem to have discussion tool features like Wikipedia:Requests for comment/April Fools' has. This shouldn't be so difficult and yet it is. So either apply the same logic everywhere or just revert. In this current state, this is worse than it was before.

Additional context here, IDs in signatures can lead to Duplicate ids lint errors

Seems a duplicate of T391116.

If a template has TemplateData and has the order of parameters defined there, it should use that order.

Ideally this should use the TemplateData value of <code>format</code> if present. See Template:Infobox television/doc.

TfD sections are actually h4, but I agree that this would be very useful and much needed as subscribing to the h2 on these pages just isn't a valid option.

Just to repeat myself, again, mw.wikibase is completely irrelevant to this, as is Wikidata. I'm not trying to access the description at Wikidata, for that I can use mw.wikibase.getDescription, which is already available. I'm trying to access the local description which can be seen either on the article itself, or in the "Page information" page. That can give a completely different description.

Just to be clear, I'm not trying to get the description located at wikidata, but the one at the local wiki. See this page information "Local description" section.

I mean short description, the line of text that is associated with a page in search results and other places. I have no idea what TextExtracts, but looking at its documentation, it doesn't seem to be what I'm asking for.
