Description

checkMarkdown.ts now has a few new checks and merges others we used to have into one. A downside of this is our error messages are less descriptive than before to avoid them being too noisy. For example, look at https://github.com/Qiskit/documentation/pull/3870.

In this issue, read our README and the error message in checkMarkdown.ts to ensure we're giving adequate instructions to content writers.

Research direction

Read the repository README and inspect the error messages in checkMarkdown.ts, then compare the current wording with the behavior described in pull request 3870. Identify messages that do not give content writers adequate instructions and update them while preserving the consolidated checks. Done means the messages clearly explain the required correction without unnecessary noise.
