We didn't undo your edit because the edit itself has no problem and we appreciated the help. It would just be appreciated if we all could try to be a little more gentle and kind. I want to specifically address this comment so I've quoted it, but I did read your other comment.

I ask this out of genuine curiosity, if I have been using English incorrectly for all of my life this will help in the future. In what sense is the word "please" a demand instead of a request? You rephrased your first comment to be more in the spirit of the Aikatsu we all know and love, but I still fundamentally don't understand how the common word to make polite requests with has become a problem.

Take, for a counter-example, my original edit comment without the word please: "fix the song nav template if you rename things" That's easy to read as a demand, and a kind note to the editor about it seems appropriate.

This made somewhat more pertinent to clarify with the note on the splash page about Fandom changing the domain, are you "demanding" that users remember that the domain has changed or are you "asking"? I would say that it is clearly an "ask"-type statement.
