While that haven't caused any issues before now, and probably was decided to be 
done that way so that changing labels, descriptions and aliases get their own 
edit revisions separate from each other (for easier rollbacks and more atomic 
history on level of term edits), bubbling up this kind of separation up to the 
UI is problematic in this case.
  
  
  I’m pretty sure it //has// caused issues before now, we just haven’t 
addressed them yet. Part of the reason why it’s not great to use `wbeditentity` 
for these edits is that it results in a very generic edit summary (compare 
T67846 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T67846> or T191885 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191885>), but that will be tackled soon as 
part of the termbox hike, which already uses `wbeditentity`: T220696: Create 
better Termbox edit summaries for wbeditentity endpoint 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220696>
  
  However, I don’t think that needs to block this task. For now, it’s okay if 
the label edit goes through and the description is blocked (my understanding is 
that these cases are often mistakes by confused users, where the label is 
correct but the description isn’t), and we can switch to `wbeditentity` later, 
once it has better edit summaries.
