As I noted in a comment, I have some reservations related to this. In particular, I'm not confident that we should endorse using the command on profiles other than your own account profile.
Giving instructions to bots is not an officially approved usage of templates.

On category pages they could be considered Category Templates. We aren't as strict about templates on categories because only advanced members need to edit those pages. They aren't at the center of WikiTree collaboration. Similarly, the usage of templates on members' own account profiles has never been tightly controlled. If any profile can said to be "owned" and fully controlled by one member, it's their own account profile.
Profiles of non-living people are not supposed to be owned and controlled by any individual.

The fact that we collaborate on them is point #1 of the Honor Code.
If we encourage members to add and remove these commands from profiles it implies that they have the right to control EditBot's behavior. EditBot needs to be controlled, but that control should be exercised by the community and team through our rules on bots and our normal process for developing and changing those rules.

Maybe I am overstating this point. I think that requesting that EditBot spend time on certain profiles is probably OK. The number of edits that EditBot can make is limited and some profiles may need them more than others.
There are just things about putting the instructions inside profiles that makes me uncomfortable. As I said, there they feel more like commands than requests.
Another concern I have is the general one about templates, the reason more of them have not been approved. We have generally approved the usage of templates as feature boxes. We have encouraged new members to recognize {{these}} as tags that insert a specially-formatted box on profile: a Research Note Box, a Sticker, or a Project Box. If members need to understand that these tags could be doing all sorts of different things, we are raising the bar for participation on WikiTree.
Every additional usage of templates marginally increases the complexity of collaboration here. We always need to guard against the natural tendency of systems to become more complex over time.
