This is great news! Thank you so much for working on this!
It must be hard to figure out how to generate summaries for a wide range of edit shapes, but it is definitely useful.
I cannot tell from the Phab ticket whether you considered to reuse existing summaries from atomic actions (such as addition of a single description) when the edit was made through wbeditentity?
For instance, as an API user it would be great if I could always use wbeditentity regardless of the change I am making, and Wikibase would automatically use a more granular edit summary if possible.
Best, Antonin

Hello all,
We are about to make some changes to edit summaries that appear when an edit is made using wbeditentity API, which includes for example editing terms (labels, descriptions, aliases) from the new mobile termbox. The summary messages currently contain “Changed an Item” as a comment. The new summaries will include the message "/Changed label, description and/or aliases in # languages/", where # is the count of distinct languages that terms in them have been affected.
This change will be deployed on Wednesday, October 2nd, and the new edit summaries will start changing from that point. The old edit summaries will not be changed. More improvements will follow in the future (for example, more details regarding the terms that have been changed and the languages).
You can see more details in this ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220696. If you encounter any issues, please let me know. Thanks,
