It does not violate any rule because that edit's the intended purpose is clear. The page was not checked for adherence in 3 years; updating the template signifies that page has compliance and that it should not be re-checked and waste another editors time verifying it. This template serves two purposes and I am doing everything I can to prevent mere tag updating. I am running Gen fixes, check wiki fixes, unicode fixes, tagging fixes, mos fixes and date fixes in addition to manually checking each article for its compliance.
