Proposal to replace documented syntax for telephone extensions

I agree that the change to the Wiki should be reverted, but coming from Germany, what you’re trying to achive just isn’t a thing here, so I don’t have a strong opinion on it, other that, strictly speaking, the extension doesn’t seem to be an actual part of the phone number from what I understand, so maybe phone:ext=* could be used instead of adding things like commas or text to the phone-field. Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding this.
The reason, why I am proposing this, is that the phone number seems to be working even without the extension, but you reach some sort of “central hub”, correct?
