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
