What

Adds a PR description template with a Testing section that prompts contributors for verification details.

Why

The new contribution standards expect every PR to say who verified a change and what wasn't covered by the page itself, but nothing currently prompts for that. This gives contributors a starting shape without forcing a rigid format.

Change

  • New .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
  • What / Why / Change / Testing sections, with Testing prompting for what ran, where, by whom, the result, and anything filled in from outside the page

Testing

Confirmed the rendered markdown strips both HTML comment blocks and shows only the section headers — pasted the raw template content into a blank PR description box and previewed it.

Read through the committed file to confirm the structure and content match what was agreed.

Pull request template auto-fill only works once a template is on the repository's default branch, so that part can't be verified until this merges. Will open a disposable PR right after merging to confirm the description box pre-fills untouched, then close it without merging.
