Then the wording should be changed so its obvious that it's actually
changing the document yet.  So instead of this broken English sentence:

"Should I set some parameters¹ to
        article (Hebrew)
the defaults of this document class"

we could say something like:

"Should I use default settings for some parameters¹
 if you choose to Apply this class change to
        article (Hebrew)"

¹ Which parameters?  Then we could make a more useful sentence.
